If you live in Texas and you've leased or purchased an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid, you may be eligible for a rebate through the Texas Emissions Reduction Program (TERP).

### Texas EV Rebates

TERP offers up to a $2500 rebate for the purchase or lease of an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle (hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are included in this too.) These rebates apply *retroactively* for vehicles purchased or leased on or after September 1, 2021.  [Rebates are as follows:](https://www.tceq.texas.gov/downloads/air-quality/terp/ldplip/ldplip-22-notice-of-rebates.pdf)

- Purchase or Lease (three-year or longer term): $2,500
- Lease (two-year to less than three-year term): $1,665 (66.6%)
- Lease (one-year to less than two-year term): $832.50 (33.3%)

There are only 2,000 rebates under this program available and they're offered on a first-come, first-served basis.  TERP will accept applications until the rebates are depleted - or January 7, 2023, whichever occurs first. (Currently, the [website shows 451 Hydrogen or Electric rebates awarded](https://www.tceq.texas.gov/airquality/terp/ld.html) of the maximum 2,000.)

[Read about the Light-Duty Motor Vehicle Purchase or Lease Incentive Program](https://www.tceq.texas.gov/airquality/terp/ld.html)<https://www.tceq.texas.gov/airquality/terp/ld.html>. [Eligible vehicles are listed here](https://www.tceq.texas.gov/downloads/air-quality/terp/ldplip/ldplip-22-eligible-vehicles.pdf). (Automakers without dealerships in Texas are currently excluded from the program.) [Instructions on how to apply and the forms you will need are here](https://www.tceq.texas.gov/downloads/air-quality/terp/ldplip/ldplip-22-application.pdf).

- Form 2 has to be signed by a representative of the dealership, from which you acquired the vehicle. *Get this done when you purchase/lease the vehicle!!!*  (If you are working with a dealer I have trained, they should have copies of the forms waiting for you.)
- You will have to provide a copy of the vehicle title, if you are applying retroactively. If you are in the process of buying/leasing the vehicle, the dealership should provide you with a copy of the *Application for Texas Title and Registration*.
- There are other documents you will need to provide, but those are normally given to you at time of purchase (like the financing contract). If you paid cash, you’ll need a copy of the check. Make sure you include everything required by using the checklist in the form set.
