How to Use the EV Subsidy Stock Exhaustion Calculator
EV subsidies are allocated in limited quantities by region, and stock can run out faster than expected when demand spikes. This calculator takes the total regional allocation, units used so far, and average monthly applications to estimate the remaining stock and exhaustion date.
How the Calculation Works
Remaining stock equals total allocation minus units used. Dividing that by the average monthly application rate estimates how many months remain before the stock runs out. Actual depletion speed varies with new model launches, promotions, and year-end budget cycles, so treat this as a reference.
Checking the Exact Stock
Check your state or local EV incentive program website for real-time allocation and usage data. If you've decided on a model, applying early while stock is plentiful is the safer approach.

Once the year's allocation is used up, applications generally close until additional funding or the next year's allocation opens.
Right after the year's allocation opens, and during new model launches or promotions, applications spike and stock depletes faster than usual.
