 To qualify for the rebate, the AFV must be registered in and be operated primarily within this Commonwealth. The rebate will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis in the order in which they are received. Rebate request forms and required documentation must be submitted to the Department no later than 6 months after the vehicle is purchased.

 All AFV rebates will be submitted online using the eGrants system. To submit an application, visit https://www.esa.dced.state.pa.us/Login.aspx.

 Beginning on August 31, 2018, the Department will be altering the rebate amounts for battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCV) supported by the Program.
