Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program

×Rebate availability depends on program funding at the time of vehicle purchase or lease. Due to overwhelming demand and limited funding, rebates will be suspended as of May 1, 2023. Any vehicles purchased or leased on or after May 1, 2023 will not be eligible to apply for the rebate once the program reopens. Once funding is available again, the program will announce its reopening. For more information, go to the State of Oregon press release
×After December 31, 2022, the Tesla Model Y is no longer eligible to receive a rebate due to the vehicle not meeting program requirements. Any completed vehicle purchases or leases for eligible model years (2020-2022 model years) prior to January 1, 2023 will be honored with the rebate. The vehicle purchase date is based on the first date of registration, so to qualify for the rebate, first date of registration (odometer date) must be on or before December 31, 2022.

Overview

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 electric vehicles instead of gas vehicles.
