Commuter car -- gas or electric?

To get an EV state rebate etc. does the car have to be new? Does it apply to used vehicles from a dealership?

VW ID4 base model. Look no further. Amazing and affordable EV with lots of the bells and whistles of a far more expensive EV and none of the silliness.

A new Chevy bolt is ~26k, it’s a great commuter car. Very quiet and responsive.

Here's brand new fully-loaded 2021 Chevy Bolts for $32-33k:

Then there's both federal and MD tax credits for buying an EV, and MD/Pepco credits to install an EV charger.

Civics are $25k, but you'll be paying gas, oil changes, spark plugs, etc. Lots of moving parts. Also no visits to the gas station ever.

We own a 2014 electric car and it's been in for service once, to rotate the tires. No other service needed.

wow, they really can't sell those things. 10k off the top for a new car now seems absurd

They actually sell a lot. Chevy just does it in volume at low margins. Up till this year with chip shortage delay Chevy is most sold nameplate in US for many years.

Used Bolt prices have actually gone up recently too.
