“The market is thriving,” said Quick. “At Zero Motorcycles, we’ve been seeing even our aggressive growth targets appear conservative after the fact year after year.” Government incentives to automakers who produce electric vehicles, and to individuals who purchase them, have further encouraged this trend. For example, in the U.S. the E-Motorcycle Federal Tax Credit, also known as the 2-wheeled plug-in tax credit, was included in the Tax Extender and Disaster Relief Act of 2019. This includes a 10% credit (up to $2,500) on 2- or 3-wheeled electric vehicles.
Additionally, U.S. taxpayers will once again qualify for a 30% rebate (up to $1,000) on costs associated with the installation of an EV charging station like Zero Motorcycles’ Zero Quick Charger. Both these credits had expired at the end of 2017, but are now available through the end of 2020, and retroactively to cover e-motos and charging stations purchased in 2018 and 2019. “Since being founded in 2006, Zero has put more electric motorcycles on the road than all other manufacturers combined each year – and that’s going to repeat again in 2020,” said Quick. “Zero Motorcycles’ consistency, performance, and longevity serve as a bedrock for the ever-growing electric motorcycle market to be built from.” Zero Motorcycles now has an extensive dealer network across much of the U.S. and a presence in 14 other countries, including Canada and the UK. “The hockey stick growth this space has been enjoying can’t be entirely because of what Zero has accomplished, but it’s also impossible to say it would ever have happened without Zero, either,” said Quick. “I know I speak for the entire firm when I assure your readers we plan to keep our throttle down as we innovate new ways to give riders unparalleled experiences on electric motorcycles well into the future.”
