Delaware Clean Vehicle Rebate Program

Delaware offers a cash rebate up to $2,500 for new battery electric vehicles priced under $40,000, or $1,500 if priced $40,000–$50,000; used EVs and plug-in hybrids also qualify at lower tiers. You can apply directly through driveelectricdelaware.org after registering as a state supplier, or purchase through a participating dealer who rolls the rebate into your transaction; applications must be submitted within 90 days of purchase and are typically processed in 8–10 weeks.

You can offer participating customers immediate rebate value by enrolling as a participating dealer and rolling the rebate into the vehicle purchase or lease (minimum 36-month lease term required). The program covers new battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles with base MSRP under $50,000, and you are required to document the rebate application for the customer.

The Delaware Clean Vehicle Rebate provides tiered cash rebates ($1,000–$2,500 depending on vehicle type and price) funded through the state's climate and transportation initiatives; applicants must register through the eSupplier Portal, apply via driveelectricdelaware.org, and rebates process within 8–10 weeks. The program targets residential, commercial, school, and local/state government buyers; vehicles must have base MSRP or fair market value not exceeding $50,000, and recipients should be advised that rebate income may be taxable.
