Is the Colorado EV Tax Incentive a credit or rebate?

Does the Colorado EV tax credit work the same as the federal EV tax credit? If I will owe less than $5000 in state taxes, does that mean my Colorado EV credit will be less than $5000 or will I still receive the full $5000?

The Colorado Innovative Motor Vehicle Credit is entered on line 22 of your Colorado Form 104, and is subtracted from line 15, your net Colorado income tax.  If your total subtractions (lines 16-23) exceed your net CO income tax, you will be refunded.  Therefore you will receive the benefit of the full $5000.
