Oregon State Tax Incentives for Purchasing a Used EV
In Oregon, there are several state-level tax incentives and rebate programs available to help with the purchase of a used electric vehicle (EV). These programs are designed to encourage the adoption of clean energy vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Here are the key incentives and rebates available:
1. Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program (Standard Rebate)
The Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program offers rebates for both new and used EVs. Used EV buyers can receive up to $2,500, provided the vehicle's battery capacity is above 10 kWh. Vehicles with smaller battery capacities may qualify for lower amounts.
