Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program

Updated: Jan 8

The Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program (OCVRP) offers rebates for Oregon drivers who purchase or lease electric vehicles. It is not a tax credit. DEQ designed the Program to reduce vehicle emissions by encouraging the purchase or lease of electric vehicles instead of gas vehicles.

Rebates Amounts:

Standard Rebate

$2,500 off a new eligible vehicle with a battery capacity of 10 kWh or more $1,500 off a new eligible vehicle with a battery capacity of less than 10 kWh $750 off an eligible new zero-emission motorcycle

Charge Ahead Rebate

Standard Charge Ahead

How to Apply

Oregon residents that are eligible for Charge Ahead can get pre-qualified to apply directly at a participating dealership when purchasing or leasing a new, eligible EV.

Paper Application Form

Funding for OCVRP has been exhausted and a waitlist is in effect for all applications. Qualified applicants who purchased an eligible vehicle prior to May 1, 2023, will receive payment when the program receives more funding in 2024.

At this time, we anticipate reopening in March 2024, when funding is replenished. The OCVRP website will be updated when the program receives funding, so please continue to check the website homepage for program updates.
