SPRINGFIELD — Illinois Environmental Protection Agency announced the opening of Illinois’ Electric Vehicle Rebate Program. The program was created under the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act and offers $4,000 rebate for purchase of an electric passenger vehicle or $1,500 rebate for purchase of an electric motorcycle. Applications for the first funding round are being accepted and must be postmarked on or before September 30, 2022. To be eligible for a rebate, the vehicle must be exclusively powered and refueled by electricity, plugged in to charge, and licensed to drive on public roadways. Electric mopeds, electric off-highway vehicles, hybrid electric or extended-range electric vehicles that are also equipped with conventional fueled propulsion or auxiliary engines are not eligible under the program.
“With our nation-leading rebate program, it’s never been more affordable for Illinois residents to buy and drive an electric vehicle,” said Governor JB Pritzker.
