Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program



Charge Ahead Rebate suspension

Due to limited funding, the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program will suspend the Charge Ahead Rebate on Friday, Dec. 5, 2025. To qualify for this rebate, you must buy or lease your vehicle from May 22, 2025, through Dec. 4, 2025. Purchases or leases made on or after Dec. 5, 2025, will not be eligible for the Charge Ahead Rebate. If you buy or lease a vehicle within the eligible timeframe, you still have six months from your purchase or lease date to apply. Find additional details in the press release.

The Standard Rebate was suspended on Sept. 9, 2025. Vehicles purchased or leased between May 22,2025, through Sept 8, 2025, still have six months from the purchase or lease date to apply. All future approved Standard Rebate applications will be placed on a waiting list to be paid in spring 2026.






Program update

Standard and Charge Ahead Rebate applicants can apply online and track the status of applications. The Center for Sustainable Energy, a third-party administrator, is reviewing and processing applications on behalf of the program.

The Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program is currently experiencing a wait time of up to two months to process your application. We appreciate your patience.

Charge Ahead Applicants

Oregon residents who meet the income eligibility criteria for a Charge Ahead rebate can get pre-qualified and use a rebate voucher at a participating dealership to purchase or lease a new or used eligible electric vehicle. 

If you applied for a Charge Ahead Prequalification Voucher, DEQ will email confirmation of your submission, updates on your application and, if approved, your voucher, from  noreply@nic.oregon.gov.  The current wait time for a prequalification voucher is 3 - 4 weeks.
