PART 275
ELECTRIC VEHICLE REBATE PROGRAM
SECTION 275.200 ELIGIBILITY
Section 275.200 Eligibility
a) On
and after July 1, 2022, each individual who purchases an electric vehicle and
satisfies the criteria set forth in this Section is eligible to receive a
rebate under this Part. To be eligible to receive a rebate, a purchaser
must:
1) Reside
in Illinois, both at the time the vehicle was purchased and at the time the
rebate is issued. [415 ILCS 120/27(b)(1)]
2) Not
have received a rebate under the Act in the 10 years prior to the date an
application is received by the Agency. A rebate may only be applied for and
awarded once per purchaser in any 10-year period. [415 ILCS 120/27(f)]
3) Purchase
a new or used electric vehicle in Illinois on or after July 1, 2022, from a
dealership licensed by the Illinois Secretary of State and be the owner of
the vehicle at the time the rebate is issued. Rented or leased vehicles,
vehicles purchased from an out-of-state dealership, and vehicles delivered to
or received by the purchaser out-of-state are not eligible for a rebate under
the Act. [415 ILCS 120/27(b)(2)]
4) Purchase
an electric vehicle that has never been the subject of a rebate issued
under the Act. A rebate administered under this Act may only be applied for
and awarded one time per vehicle identification number. [415 ILCS 120/27(f)]
The Agency will provide on its website a searchable list of vehicle
identification numbers for vehicles that have received a rebate under the Act.
5) Apply
for the rebate within 90 days after the vehicle purchase date by providing
all of the information specified in Section 275.230 to the Agency. [415 ILCS
120/27(b)(3)] The application must be postmarked within 90 days after the
vehicle purchase date.
b) The
purchaser must retain ownership of the vehicle for a minimum of 12 consecutive
months immediately after the vehicle purchase date. The purchaser must
register the vehicle in Illinois during that time frame. Rebate recipients who
fail to satisfy any of the above criteria will be required to reimburse the
Agency all of the original rebate amount and shall notify the Agency within 60
days of failing to satisfy the criteria. [415 ILCS 120/27(d)]
c) Rebates will be issued in accordance with Section 275.240 of
this Subpart. The total amount of all rebates issued in the Electric Vehicle
Rebate Program for a given calendar year will be limited to an amount not
exceeding the funds available in the Electric Vehicle Rebate Fund for that
calendar year.

availability and prioritization as set forth in subsections (c) and (d).
c) The Agency shall prioritize the review of qualified
applications from low-income purchasers and award rebates to qualified
purchasers accordingly. [415 ILCS 120/27(c)]
d) In addition to the priority in subsection (c), the Agency will
further prioritize applications within a priority class as determined by

priority class as determined by subsection (c) by giving such applications
priority in the order in which the application was received.

those from applicants who are not low-income. Within each group, applications
will be ranked in order of date received. The Agency will review applications
and issue rebates in the order of date received to qualified low-income
applicants first. If funding remains, the Agency will review applications and
issue rebates in the order of date received to qualified applicants who are not
low-income.
f) The Agency's denial of an application shall not prohibit an
individual from re-applying, provided the individual continues to meet the
eligibility requirements found in Section 275.200.
g) The Agency will establish the duration of each rebate
application cycle based on factors including available funding amounts, the
ramifications of particular rebate cycle lengths, efficiency of rebate
issuance, the likelihood of oversubscription, and the prioritization of the
review of applications from low-income purchasers pursuant to subsection (c).
However, in no case will an application cycle be less than 90 calendar days.
The length of a rebate cycle will be noted on the Agency's website at the
beginning of each cycle.
