Or. Admin. Code § 340-270-0120 - Requirements for Zero-Emission Vehicle Standard Rebates
(1) A person may only apply for a standard
rebate if the person:
(a) Owns or leases a
vehicle that meets the requirements established in OAR
340-270-0100;
(b) If leasing a vehicle, has a minimum lease
term of 24 months;
(c) Intends to
retain the registration of the eligible vehicle for a minimum of 24 consecutive
months after the purchase or lease date; and
(d) Is an Oregon resident.
(2) To qualify for a rebate, an
applicant must:
(a) Apply using a form
approved by DEQ;
(b) Provide
information and documentation sufficient to allow DEQ to verify that the
applicant purchased or leased an eligible vehicle;
(c) Purchase or lease an eligible vehicle
from a vehicle dealer or an original equipment manufacturer, that does not have
licensed franchised new automobile dealers in Oregon;
(d) Provide proof of registration of the
eligible vehicle in Oregon;
(e)
Submit an application within 6 months after the vehicle purchase or lease date,
except that persons who purchased or leased an eligible vehicle between January
1, 2018 and August 2, 2018 may apply for the rebate if an application is
submitted to DEQ by March 30, 2020. If DEQ has already received an application
from the rebate applicant who purchased or leased an eligible vehicle between
January 1, 2018 and August 2, 2018, and the applicant has been notified by DEQ
of its receipt, the applicant does not need to reapply;
(f) Provide any additional information and
documentation requested by DEQ that is necessary to ascertain that the
applicant qualifies for a rebate; and
(g) Participate in ongoing research efforts
and surveys regarding the program.
(3) Recipients may assign the rebate to a
vehicle dealer, or to an original equipment manufacturer, that does not have
licensed franchised new automobile dealers in Oregon. The limit established in
subsection (5) of this rule does not apply to vehicle dealers or automobile
manufacturers who receive rebate assignments as required by this
section.
(4) Recipients may not
make or allow any modifications to the vehicle's emission-control systems,
hardware, or software calibrations, or the vehicle's hybrid system.
(5) An organization that applies for a
rebate, including businesses, non-profit organizations, and state and municipal
governments, is limited to 10 rebates per entity per calendar year.
Organizational applicants must be based in Oregon or have an Oregon-based
affiliate at the time the eligible vehicle is purchased or leased.
(6) If the rebate recipient is an
organization that applies for a rebate, it must submit annual usage data to DEQ
for 2 years.
(7) A person shall not
submit an application for a vehicle for both a standard rebate and for a rebate
under the Zero Emission Rebates for Oregon Fleets program, as established in
OAR 340-270-0030 and OAR
340-270-0600 through OAR 340-270-0700. If potentially eligible for both a
standard rebate and a rebate under the Zero Emissions Rebates for Oregon Fleets
program, the person can choose which rebate to apply for, if any.
