Delaware Clean Vehicle Rebate Program has been extended by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control through the end of the year.
The rebate program is for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles purchased or leased before Dec. 31, 2022. This includes:
- $2,500 for battery electric vehicles, including vehicles with range extenders, with a total vehicle price of $60,000 or less;
- $1,000 for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles with a total vehicle price of $60,000 or less.
Businesses and property owners of multi-unit dwellings can also take advantage of the rebate program by installing charging stations for customers and tenants to help in the transition of vehicle electrification. The Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Rebate Program pays up to 90% of the cost of the charging station, with a max amount of $3,500 per port/$7,000 per station for public properties, fleets and multi-unit dwellings. Rebates are also available for natural gas and propane vehicles.
“As new and existing manufacturers introduce more electric vehicles to their lineups, more consumers are making the switch,” said Governor Carney in a statement. “Our Clean Transportation Incentive Program is helping to make the transition more affordable for more Delawareans.”
The program has been in place since July 2015. In the first round of funding, which lasted until Oct. 31, 2016, the program paid out 292 rebates. By comparison, the program has paid out 267 rebates in the first four months of this year. In total, almost 2,500 rebates have been issued since the program began. The current program was set to expire June 30.
“The continuing popularity of the electric vehicle rebate program, along with the benefits to the environment through reduced greenhouse gas emissions, are among the reasons why we are extending the program through the end of 2022,” DNREC Secretary Shawn M. Garvin said in a statement.
