Vehicle Purchaser Eligibility
To be eligible for a Program rebate, a Vehicle Purchaser must purchase or lease an eligible vehicle from a Participating Dealer and be a New York State resident or licensed to do business in the State. The vehicle must be in the Purchaser’s ownership for 36 months, unless receiving approval from NYSERDA to sell the vehicle, with proper New York State DMW registration and vehicle insurance. NYSERDA must be enabled to verify registration with the DMV, the vehicle identification number (VIN), and share the vehicle model and associated address with the electric distribution utility servicing that location. Purchaser must agree to never modify the vehicle’s emission control system, engine, engine hardware, software calibrations, or electric drive system. Purchaser must also agree to participate in online surveys and other research efforts that support program goals and agree to reimburse the dealer if it is discovered the Purchaser provided information resulting in the rebate being denied.

This form is for purchasers and lessees, and outlines requirements and responsibilities that you will need to read and agree to, to receive the Drive Clean Rebate. Review the Vehicle Purchaser Terms and Conditions in advance of your visit to the dealership.
