Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is making an additional $1 million in funding available for a rebate program that’s givning money back to consumers who purchase an Electronic Vehicle and making another $1 million in grants available to state agencies and cities and towns who want to purchase EVs for their fleets and install charging stations for public use.
DEEP’s consumer rebate program program – known as the Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate Program (CHEAPR) – provides a cash rebate of up to $3,000 for Connecticut residents, businesses, and municipalities who purchase or lease an eligible EV. EVs covered by CHEAPR include battery electric, fuel cell, and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
