CSE is the statewide administrator for the Drive Clean Rebate Program in New York that supports greenhouse gas reduction goals through greater use of clean vehicles.

It provides point-of-sale rebates up to $2,000 for more than 60 models of new plug-in hybrid electric cars and all-electric cars. Residents, businesses and government entities are eligible.
