Availability of Rebates through the Pennsylvania Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant Program

[52 Pa.B. 5721]
[Saturday, September 3, 2022]

 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces the availability of rebates to Commonwealth residents under Pennsylvania's Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Rebate Program (Program). The Program, administered by the Department through the Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant Program, provides rebates to Commonwealth residents to assist with the costs of purchasing an AFV. The Department is now accepting applications.

 To qualify for the rebate, the AFV must be registered in this Commonwealth. The rebate will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis in the order in which applications are received. The Program will run through the end of June 2023, or until at least 1,000 rebates have been awarded or funding has been expended. The Program can be reassessed or changed at any time.

 To help bridge the gap in affordability of AFVs to Commonwealth residents, the Program will be limited to providing rebates to qualifying Commonwealth residents. Commonwealth residents whose total household income is equal to or below 400% of the Federal Income Poverty level, as defined by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, will be eligible for the rebate. A full table of the income requirements to be eligible to receive a rebate is provided on the Program's web site at www.dep.pa.gov/AFVrebates and in the Program guidelines. To view the Federal Income Poverty level, visit https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines.

 The following rebate amounts will be offered by the Program. Vehicle types—new, pre-owned and demonstration alternative fuel vehicles—will receive the same rebate amount per vehicle category:

 • $2,000 rebate for a battery electric vehicle

 • $1,500 rebate for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle

 • $500 rebate for a natural gas fueled vehicle including original equipment manufacturer (OEM)/certified retrofits only

 • $500 rebate for a propane fueled vehicle including OEM/certified retrofits only

 • $500 rebate for an electric motorcycle

 In addition to the rebate amounts available to eligible applicants, the Program will also provide an additional $1,000 incentive if the eligible applicant's total household income is equal to or below 200% of the Federal Income Poverty level, https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines.

 Visit the Program web site at http://www.dep.pa.gov/AFVrebates for Program guidelines and application instructions.

 Applications must be submitted online through the Commonwealth's Electronic Single Application web site, eGrants, at www.esa.dced.state.pa.us. Rebate applications must be submitted no later than 6 months after the vehicle is purchased.

 Interested applicants may contact the Department at (717) 783-8411 for more information on the Program.
