DEQ reopens the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program
April 3, 2024
Purchase or lease eligible electric vehicles now through June 3, 2024

STATEWIDE, Ore. – It’s officially go time! The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality announced today it has reopened the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program. Those living across the state can purchase or lease eligible new or used electric vehicles now through June 3, 2024, and get money back.
Based on past program participation and limited funds, projections show the program will be oversubscribed and must close on June 4, 2024. That means vehicles purchased or leased either before April 3, 2024, or on or after June 4, 2024, are not eligible to apply for the state rebates. Program rules require DEQ to suspend rebates once funds are depleted.
