In April 2024, DEC announced the most recent round of DEC’s Municipal Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Rebate program, which makes a total of $750,000 available to municipalities for the purchase or lease of zero-emission light- and medium-duty fleet vehicles. These zero-emission vehicles will help New York State achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements of the State’s Climate Act.
DEC is accepting applications through September 27, 2024. Rebates are available to municipalities that purchase or lease, for a minimum of 36 months, an eligible vehicle placed into municipal service at a dealership in New York State between Sept. 30, 2022, and Sept. 27, 2024. Electric, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are eligible for rebates.
More details on municipal ZEV rebates can be found in the request for applications posted on the DEC website.
Applications are available through the New York Statewide Financial System Grants Management System.
