ComEd EV Rebate Programs
This program is only accepting new applications for eligible customers based on equity criteria. To find out if you are eligible, check Program Updates here.

For a rebate to be issued, the contractor that completed the installation work must have had its Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installer Certification from the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) prior to the installation date, and that certification must be active.

Illinois EPA EV Rebate Program
EV rebates will open once more starting October 28, 2025 and run through January 31, 2026. Eligible Illinois residents who meet income thresholds under the Electric Vehicle Rebate Act and purchase a new or used all-electric vehicle (base price ≤ $80,000) from an Illinois-licensed dealer may qualify for the following rebates:

  • $4,000 for low-income applicants purchasing an all-electric vehicle (not a motorcycle)
  • $2,000 for non–low-income applicants purchasing an all-electric vehicle (not a motorcycle)
  • $1,500 for an all-electric motorcycle purchase

Applications must be submitted within 180 days of purchase during an open rebate cycle. The Illinois EPA has $14 million appropriated for the current fiscal year, and funds are available only while supplies last.
