Vermont Replace Your Ride Program

The Vermont Replace Your Ride Program offers rebates to replace your old gas car with a new or used electric vehicle, administered on a first-come, first-served basis. Current funding is exhausted, but the program may resume in summer 2025 if the legislature approves additional funds; eligibility requirements may change when it reopens. Check the Drive Electric Vermont website for current availability and to apply when funding becomes available again.

You can help customers access Replace Your Ride rebates by assisting them through the application process managed by the Center for Sustainable Energy; note that current funding is unavailable but the program is expected to resume in summer 2025. Requirements may shift when funding is reauthorized, so monitor program updates to guide customers on eligibility and timing.

The Replace Your Ride Program, administered by CSE, provides rebates to Vermont residential consumers purchasing new or used EVs to replace internal combustion vehicles on a first-come, first-served basis until funding exhausts. Current funding is depleted and program resumption requires legislative action, with potential availability in summer 2025; flood-damaged vehicles receive expedited or waived requirements. Track application submissions and funding burn-rate to manage waitlists if the program restarts.
