I was looking for buying a new car and have been wanting to get a new fuel efficient car. Since i drive a lot I will be needing some good fuel efficiency. But with my limited spending I was looking for some government programs and agencies that could help with purchasing a hybrid or electric car. But I have had no luck.
They are pretty expensive and was wondering if anyone found ways to get one for cheap. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Those shoes were made for walking and that just what you should do! Truly to this day traditional gas cars are the least expensive to own and operate. Electric cars that are practical are on the way but right now they are limited to high performance cars where you have to pay an arm and a leg to get one. Like all “new” things when they first come out the cost is way beyond reality. This is because they are simply right now bragging rights possessions.
Government forced car manufactures to build and sell/lease electric cars in California GM had a great car (EV1) that was just as durable as a traditional car. GM only leased the cars and when GM and others squashed the laws to provide electric cars GM took them all back and crushed all but 2 of them. The 2 remaining don’t actually work anymore, GM disabled them. One I know for sure is in a museums collection. They were very cheap to lease.
If you can’t afford a new hybrid, buy a used one.
The best program I recently saw was federal incentives coupled with some car companies incentives to turn in your gas hog (less than 18 mpg) to something much more fuel efficient (5 commercial and 10 mpg more.) It sounds like up to a $9000 total. Not too shabby.
A number of years ago someone had their vehicle registered commercially and then put advertising on it. This would not be legal everywhere and there would certainly be limitations but it may be worth looking into.
I recently read about a couple that purchased an electric vehicle (Tesla roadster) to travel across the US. They were using it to raise money for charity. No doubt they did not pay full price for the vehicle. If you can come up with a similar plan you might find a less expensive alternative to an outright purchase.
Good luck to you and let me know how it works out.
