The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) commissioner Basil Seggos stated that $300,000 is available from the State’s Environmental Protection Fund in the form of rebates to municipalities for the purchase or lease of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs).
The EV rebate program will be administered by DEC through the New York State Grants Gateway. DEC will accept applications from municipalities for rebates through July 26, 2019.
DEC’s rebate complements other efforts by the state such as the Drive Clean Rebate initiative which has provided rebates to over 10,000 consumers.
For questions about municipal clean vehicle rebates, email ZEVrebate@dec.ny.gov or contact DEC’s Office of Climate Change at 518-402-8448.
