Adopted rule
Administrative Order No. DEQ 2-2020
Filed and effective: Jan. 24, 2020
See Oregon Bulletin, February 2020
The Environmental Quality Commission adopted amendments to the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program rules to incorporate 2019 Legislative changes affecting the program and to make other necessary adjustments to clarify program requirements. These changes include:
- Allowing plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to be eligible for the Charge Ahead rebate;
- Prorating the payback amount if a rebate recipient sells or terminates the lease of the electric vehicle before the end of 24 months;
- Creating a provision that allows for waiver of the payback amount if the rebate recipient sells or terminates the lease of the electric vehicle before the end of 24 months;
- Allowing people who purchased vehicles between Jan. 1, 2018 and Aug. 2, 2018 to have an additional six month window to apply for the rebate; and
- Making other minor adjustments to ensure the program continues to operate smoothly
DEQ is convening an advisory committee to review the policy and fiscal impacts related to the proposed rules.
