Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program

Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebates in suspension

The Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program expects to reopen in summer 2026. In the meantime, low- and moderate-income households can prepare for the Charge Ahead Rebate by completing the prequalification application now. To qualify for this rebate, you must purchase or lease your vehicle while the program is open. Purchases or leases made while the program is suspended are not eligible for a rebate. Due to limited funding, the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program suspended the Standard Rebate on Sept. 9, 2025 and the Charge Ahead Rebate on Friday, Dec. 5, 2025.

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.
