DEQ Announces Temporary Suspension of Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program as of May 1

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality announced it will temporarily suspend the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program as of May 1, 2023. If you buy or lease an eligible battery electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle or zero-emission motorcycle before May 1, you may still apply for a rebate . DEQ has created an Available Rebate Funding web page so applicants can see how much money is left for 2023. Once funds are depleted, eligible applications will go on a waiting list, to be paid once DEQ receives its next allotment in early 2024. Electric vehicles purchased or leased after April 30, 2023, will not receive state rebates, but can still qualify for federal tax credits .
