The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will launch its next electric vehicle (EV) rebate program, offering up to $4,000 from 1 August to 31 December.
New or used EVs with a selling price up to $80,000 on the bill of sale are eligible for a $2,000 rebate. Low-income applicants can receive an additional $2,000. Buyers must apply within 180 days of the purchase date.
Eligible applicants' income cannot exceed 500pc of the federal poverty line.
The Illinois General Assembly has allocated about $14mn for the current fiscal year ending 30 June 2027. The previous EV rebate application cycle received 3,499 applications, with 3,001 rebates issued, more than half to low-income applicants.
