EV Policies:

In December 2022, Oregon’s Environmental Quality Commission adopted Advanced Clean Cars II, requiring 100% of new light duty vehicle sales to be zero emission by model year 2035 with phased annual targets beginning in MY 2026 (OAR 340-257). Oregon adopted the Advanced Clean Trucks Rule and Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Omnibus Rule in November 2021 (OAR 340-261). In June 2025, DEQ issued limited enforcement discretion on the ACC II MY 2026 ZEV sales requirement and on ACT requirements for MY 2025 and 2026; reporting, labeling, and warranty obligations remain in effect.

The Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program (OAR 340-270) offers Standard and Charge Ahead rebates. The Standard Rebate was suspended September 9, 2025, and the Charge Ahead Rebate December 5, 2025; approved applications are on a waiting list for payment in spring 2026.
