Low-Income EV Rebate Direct from Manufacturer Form

For EVs purchased directly from a manufacturer before July 1, 2025

Use this form to request a rebate for a vehicle purchased or leased prior to July 1, 2025. This form must be completed within 60 days of the vehicle purchase, as it appears on the bill of sale.

This form is for vehicles purchased directly from a manufacturer, as opposed to a dealership. If you are a Participating Dealer submitting a reimbursement request, please use the dealership reimbursement form.

Efficiency Maine will review, and reserves the right to audit, all information and records submitted with this form. 

To qualify, a vehicle must have a price of no more than the amounts listed below, where the price is defined as total manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) or “sticker price”, including options and accessories, before destination/delivery charges, and no other discounts, deductions, credits or rebates are to be counted in the eligibility determination calculation:

1. $80,000, in the case of an eligible pickup truck or commercial van
2. $55,000, for all other eligible vehicles

Note: Used vehicles purchased directly from a manufacturer are not eligible for an Efficiency Maine rebate. To receive a rebate on a used vehicle, you must have purchased the vehicle from a Participating Dealer, which will apply the rebate as an instant discount at the time of sale.

If you’d prefer to apply by mail, you can request a printable version of this application by calling (866) 376-2463 and asking for the Electric Vehicles team.
