YOU get the $5000 GA tax credit. The buyer (dealer if leasing, you if buying outright) gets the $7500 federal tax credit.
Only catch there is cash flow: you must put up the money, then get the tax credit/rebate over time (which may be years depending on your tax liability).
Why did you go for the Leaf over the Chevy Volt? They’re both in the same price range but the Volt gives you the gasoline option.
