Electric Vehicle (EV) Rebates
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) offers rebates to residents for the purchase of a new or pre-owned EV at or below $80,000. Rebates amounts are available according to the following schedule:
| Purchase Timeframe | Rebate Amount | Additional Low-income Rebate Amount |
|---|---|---|
| July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2028 | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Beginning July 1, 2028 | $1,500 | $1,500 |
IEPA also offers rebates of $1,500 to Illinois residents for the purchase of an electric motorcycle. EV owners must apply for the rebate within 90 days of purchasing or leasing and registering the EV in Illinois. Applicants must apply during an IEPA application window and within 180 days of purchase. Applicants may only receive one rebate in a 10-year period. Rebate award amounts may not exceed the purchase price of the vehicle. Low-income applicants will be given funding priority. Additional restrictions apply.
