As a multifamily owner, having a public level 2 electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) can help increase the convenience and affordability of driving electric for your tenants. Level 2 EVSE can provide 20 plus miles of driving range per hour of charging. Learn more about level 2 charging stations and developing infrastructure to charge plug-in electric vehicles. We offer the following rebates:

• New commercial grade public level 2 EVSE for multifamily housing site buildings (5 residence units or more) may qualify for a $1,500 rebate per port.
• New commercial grade level 2 EVSE for qualified multifamily affordable housing sites may be eligible for a $2,000 rebate per port.

Entities providing public charging, including workplace, fleet, business and multifamily may qualify for additional revenue generation through the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Clean Fuels Program.  The program allows EVSE operators to generate Clean Fuels credits, which can then be monetized. This is not an EWEB program. Visit DEQ's Clean Fuels Program website or contact OregonCleanFuels@deq.state.or.us to learn more. 

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's Oregon Clean Vehicle and Charge Ahead Rebate programs can save Oregonians up to $7,500 on the purchase or lease of a qualifying electric vehicle. All Oregonians can receive up to $2,500 for the purchase or lease of a qualifying new EV. Low and moderate income Oregonians can save an additional $5,000 on qualifying new or used EVs. For the Standard Rebate, vehicles must have been purchased or leased between May 22, 2025, through September 8, 2025. For the Charge Ahead Rebate, vehicles must have been purchased or leased between May 22, 2025, through December 4, 2025. Applicants still have six months from the purchase or lease date to apply for rebates. Learn more and download an application on DEQ's website.

If you are purchasing or leasing your car from a dealer, you may be able to receive your rebate at the time of purchase. DEQ has developed an interactive map to locate dealerships with this arrangement in place.
