If you’re shopping for a new vehicle and don’t intend to plunk down cash for the entire purchase price, 0% financing is basically free money. If you’re shopping for an electric vehicle, the $7,500 federal tax credit for new EV purchases is literally free money. Now, if you were to buy a new EV eligible for the federal tax credit and score a 0% financing deal? Well, that’s like a free-money free-for-all that’ll free up money elsewhere in your budget. And because you need to act fast to benefit from this belt and suspenders to bolster your bottom line — after all, that aforementioned federal tax credit expires just over two months from now — we’ve rounded up a quartet of cars eligible for both free financing and the Uncle Sam incentive.

In other automotive news, the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 gets precious few updates for the new model year, but the half-ton pickup truck does get a sporty, street-styled special edition for a little extra edge in both appearance and performance. Its turbocharged 2.7-liter TurboMax four-cylinder engine puts out 310 horsepower and 430 pounds-feet of torque, channeled through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include 20-inch gloss-black wheels, all-terrain tires, all-weather floormats, black assist steps, a spray-in bedliner and six paint options. The RST Select will be available on crew-cab models with rear- or four-wheel drive, and on RWD double-cab models.
