Alternative Fuel Vehicle Rebate Program

Pennsylvania residents can receive rebates on new or used electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids purchased for up to $45,000: battery electric vehicles qualify for $3,000 (or $4,000 if income-qualified), and plug-in hybrids for $1,500. To apply, use the eGrants online system and select the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Rebate Program; approximately 100 rebates remain available on a first-come, first-served basis. Income limits vary by family size, ranging from $46,950 for a single person to $162,450 for a family of eight, with lower income households eligible for an additional $1,000.

This program helps your customers access meaningful purchase incentives for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, making zero-emission transportation more affordable for working-class Pennsylvanians. You should direct eligible customers to apply through the eGrants portal, as funding is limited to approximately 100 remaining rebates; the program is expected to renew later in summer 2025. Eligible vehicles include new models and used vehicles with fewer than 75,000 miles purchased from a dealer for under $45,000.

The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Rebate Program, retooled in April 2025, targets Pennsylvania residents earning up to 300% of federal poverty guidelines (income thresholds by household size specified in guidelines), with additional $1,000 rebates for those at 150% of federal poverty level. Battery electric vehicles receive $3,000 rebates; plug-in hybrids receive $1,500; other alternative fuels and electric motorcycles receive $500. Applications are processed via the eGrants system on a first-come, first-served basis; approximately 100 rebates remain available and funding is expected to be replenished later in summer 2025.
