High Contrast Mode On or Off switch Department of Energy & Environmental Protection Rebate+ New and Used EV Incentives CHEAPR's Rebate+ program offers additional incentives to certain income qualified Connecticut residents who purchase or lease an eligible new or used battery electric (BEV) or, plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) vehicle from a licensed Connecticut automobile dealership or original equipment manufacturer.
To help make EVs more affordable for Connecticut residents since the federal tax credit expired on September 30, 2025, the CHEAPR Standard BEV incentive has increased!
Effective October 1, 2025 , the following incentive level change is in effect for new battery electric vehicles (BEVs): BEV Standard Rebate: increased to $1,000 from $500 Rebate+ incentives, which provide additional incentives for prequalified low- and moderate-income families to consider a new or used EV, will remain at the increased levels announced earlier this year.
Therefore with Rebate+ New, which stacks with the Standard Rebate, the new total savings will be the following: Rebate+ New BEV: $1,000 + $3,000 = $4,000 The Standard Rebate for PHEVs will remain at $500 as announced in August 2025. This means that Rebate+ New for PHEVs will remain at $2,000 ($500 + $1,500). The Rebate+ Used incentives will remain unchanged as well.
"CHEAPR remains an important tool to give Connecticut consumers the option to purchase a vehicle that will have a more positive impact on our air quality and can also be more affordable to maintain over time." Note: The new incentive levels apply to the purchase or lease of any eligible vehicle on and after October 1, 2025.
