U.S. Virgin Islands - Equitable E-Mobility Rebate Program

Get a $7,500 rebate when you buy a new or used electric vehicle (purchased on or after April 1, 2023) from any dealership, or a $500 rebate for an e-bike from Island Life Adventures at Leatherback Brewery. You must be a USVI resident, provide a W-9, valid USVI ID, proof of purchase, vehicle title/registration, and sign the program terms; rebates are awarded first-come, first-served, with one EV and one e-bike rebate per household.

Direct your USVI customers to this rebate program to increase EV and e-bike sales—new EVs up to $65,000 with minimum 20 kWh battery, used EVs up to $50,000 with ≤20,000 miles and model year 2020 or newer (as of 2024) qualify. E-bike vendors must register with the Virgin Islands Energy Office to offer the $500 rebate; currently Island Life Adventures is the approved vendor. Ensure customers have required documentation (purchase agreement, title, registration, and signed terms) ready before applying.

The Equitable E-Mobility Rebate Program, launched January 2024 and funded through an Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act State Energy Program grant, distributes $7,500 per EV and $500 per e-bike on a first-come, first-served basis to USVI residents, small businesses, and nonprofits. Eligibility limits: one EV and one e-bike rebate per household; two EV rebates per business entity. Target zero-emission vehicles (battery electric or fuel cell) purchased on or after April 1, 2023; used EVs must have clean title, ≤20,000 miles, and be no older than four model years. Program also supports workforce development through ASE L300 certification and future EV service infrastructure.
