Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Project

 

CSE is the statewide administrator of the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (OCVRP) that provides incentives to consumers, nonprofits and businesses for purchasing or leasing new and used zero-emission vehicles.

An initiative of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the program offers point-of-sale rebates to individuals and post-purchase rebates for all others. OCVRP provides standard rebates up to $2,500 and up to $7,500 for low- to moderate-income households and low-income service providers. Launched in 2018, the DEQ selected CSE to administer and implement the program in 2019.
