Astoria, OR – According to the state officials, projections show the program will be oversubscribed and must close on June 4, 2024.
Any vehicles purchased or leased either before April 3, 2024, or on or after June 4, 2024, are not eligible to apply for the rebate.
Program rules require DEQ to suspend rebates once funds are depleted.
Applicants have six months from date of purchase or lease to apply for rebates. After the program reopens, the remaining fund balance can be tracked by visiting the Available Rebate Funding web page throughout 2024.
If funds are depleted sooner than expected, approved applications will go on a waiting list, to be paid once DEQ receives its next financial allotment in early spring 2025.
Last year, DEQ suspended the rebate program when there were more applicants than funds.
The remaining approved rebate applications were placed on a waiting list, which the agency is currently processing.
