On Friday, May 11, 2018, Oregon's Environmental Quality Commission adopted new rules establishing the Zero Emission and Electric Vehicle Rebate Program

Summary

The EQC adopted new rules to establish the Oregon Zero-Emission and Electric Vehicle Rebate program. The program contains two elements – one element provides rebates for the purchase or lease of new zero-emission vehicles (referred to as standard rebates). The second element, called Charge Ahead rebate, provides rebates for the purchase or lease of new or used zero-emission vehicles if a purchaser is from a low or moderate income household.

Program requirements include:

•  Rebate amounts provided for the purchase or lease of certain zero-emission vehicles.

•  Eligibility requirements for vehicles and purchases qualifying under the program.

•  Program elements of the Charge Ahead rebate program, including eligibility criteria.
