Oregon's EV rebates reopened for cars bought Aug 25 to Nov 4, 2026: $2,000 standard, up to $7,500 income-qualified. EV registration is $376 per 2 years.
The $7,500 federal new-EV credit and $4,000 used-EV credit ended September 30, 2025, and the federal home-charger credit (30C) followed on June 30, 2026. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're reading an old script. (Charger installed on or before June 30, 2026? That one's still claimable on that year's return. IRS Form 8911.)
New BEV with a battery of 10 kWh or more ($1,500 for a PHEV of 10 kWh+, $750 under 10 kWh), no income test. REOPENED for vehicles bought or leased Aug 25 to Nov 4, 2026 only; buyers go on a waitlist if funds run out. Cars bought while it was suspended do not qualify.
Low- and moderate-income households. New BEV $7,500, new PHEV $5,000; used BEV $2,500 to $4,000 (30% of price), used PHEV $2,500. Same Aug 25 to Nov 4, 2026 window; waitlist if funds run out. You get Standard or Charge Ahead, not both.
Income-qualified Oregon residential customers can get up to $1,500 for a hardwired Level 2 charger or up to $500 for a 240-volt outlet, licensed electrician required, equipment bought on or after Jan 1, 2026.
The catch: Oregon charges EV owners an extra $188/yr ($376 per 2 years) at registration. See every state's EV fee, ranked.
Shopping used? Oregon has money for used EVs too. See used EV prices by model and what to check.
EV registration is $376 per 2-year renewal (plus any county fee), or $86 per 2 years plus a per-mile charge if you enroll in OReGO, the state's road-usage program, which is the better deal for low-mileage drivers. Starting July 1, 2027, used EVs renewing must choose a flat fee or pay by the mile (new EVs from 2028). The 2026 rebate window closes Nov 4, 2026.
