DRIVERS in Pennsylvania may be in line for $3,000 rebates, and all they have to do is go electric.
Depending on household income, the DEP now offers $2,000 or $3,000 as the maximum amount received.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recently changed the maximum amount received to its program from $750 and $1,000 for low-income applicants.
The program will offer at least 1,000 rebates starting September 1 until June 30, 2023.
The changes to income limits and the maximum amount available are targeting working-class families as the program offers $ 2 million over the next year.
The rebates are also considered taxable income and can be combined with the credits from the Inflation Reduction Act.
Over 23,000 electric vehicles were registered in Pennsylvania last year, according to WESA.
How to apply
To apply, check out the eGrants electronic application submission process.
Select the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Rebate Program in the application system.
No forms or documentation need to be sent to DEP as all information is contained in the online application submission.
Rebates are offered on a first-come, first-served basis while funding is available.
Applicants must submit their rebate application no later than six months from the date of vehicle purchase.
All rebates are subject to the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Rebate Guidelines at the time of application, not the date the vehicle was purchased.
Eligibility requirements
Pennsylvanians that make less than 400% of the federal poverty level or $54,360 for an individual and $111,000 for a family of four qualify.
The highest rebates are for families making below 200% of the federal poverty level, according to the DEP.
Eligible drivers can apply for the rebate with either new or used alternative fuel vehicles for up to a $50,000 purchase price.
However, battery electric cars and truck drivers can also receive the highest rebate.
Other rebates offered:
- $1,500 for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
- $500 for natural gas-fueled vehicles
- $500 for propane-fueled vehicles
- $500 for electric motorcycles
