SPRINGFIELD — Illinois Environmental Protection Agency announced the second round 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 are being accepted and must be postmarked on or before January 31st, 2023. 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.
