The Delaware Clean Vehicle Rebate Program provides incentives for Delawareans to buy or lease new or used electric vehicles. The vehicle rebate program encourages the deployment of electric vehicles as part of Delaware’s commitment to innovation in the transportation sector, reducing greenhouse gases and improving the state’s air quality.
The Delaware Clean Vehicle Rebate is not a tax credit. It is a cash rebate for vehicles purchased or leased between May 1, 2024 and May 1, 2025. The rebate must be applied for within 90 days of the purchase date.
