Answer
For a vehicle which draws propulsion energy from a battery with at least 5 kilowatt hours of capacity,
http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Plug-In-Electric-Vehicle-Credit-%28IRC-30-and-IRC-30D%29
The credit only applies to street legal motorcycles with 4 kilowatt-hour (or larger) battery packs that can go over 45 mph. The federal tax credit is available in all 50 US states and applies to motorcycles purchased in both 2012 (retroactive) and 2013.

How much would it cost to convert my car to electric?
Kipp
I want to to be able to run on one charge for 24 hours
Answer
@Nata T - Nissan Leaf lasts for one hour on a charge? Well that's true if you're going 70 mph, so you're sort of half right, in a way. If you have a trip computer or a good GPS in your car, you'll see that your average speed is actually around 40mph if you're lucky enough not to get caught in too much traffic.
That brings me to my next point which is this: One single battery can last for 24 hours if you don't want to go very fast.
The force of aerodynamic drag varies as the square of the speed, so the power required varies as the square of the speed. Distance traveled varies as speed to the first power. So you get more mileage and longer run time if you go slower.
If you want to run at 60mph for 24 hours that's another thing. Just to push a bicycle that fast, that long the battery is going to weigh at least 3,400 lbs. Now you need a big truck that can hold it. More cross sectional area, less aerodynamic and heavier, which means your power consumption increases, so your battery needs to be bigger still. It's a vicious cycle.
You end up needing a semi truck. The battery pack would take up the entire tailor, weigh 32 tons and cost 1.2 million dollars.
More realistically you can convert a mid 90s Civic, Metro or Tercel to run around 50 miles. $6000 is about right for everything you need but the batteries. Expect to use about 350 watt hours per mile with that civic under normal driving (and I don't mean babying it, trying to extend your range, I mean normal driving). so to go 50 miles, you need a 17.5 kwh battery pack. That's 1200 lbs of lead acid batteries that cost a couple thousand dollars.
Gaby 142 is the closest.
All but the lead acid batteries are still pretty much unaffordable.
