DEP Urges Hybrid Vehicle Buyers To Apply For PA Rebate Before March 6

Pennsylvanians who have recently purchased or leased a hybrid electric vehicle or are in the market for one should act quickly to take advantage of a $500 rebate from the state's Hybrid Electric Vehicle Rebate Program while funds are available.
            The rebate program is scheduled to end March 6, but applications will be accepted until early September for eligible new vehicle purchases or leases. As time passes, though, there is no guarantee that funds will be available to provide a rebate.
            Nearly 9,000 rebates have been issued to help Pennsylvanians acquire new hybrid electric vehicles.
            Vehicles eligible for rebates must have a combined EPA city and highway rating of greater than 55 miles per gallon, with a carbon footprint of fewer than seven tons per year of carbon dioxide.  Flexible fuel and diesel vehicles are not eligible for rebates.
            For more information, visit DEP's Hybrid Vehicle Rebate webpage or call 1-866-294-3854 or send email to: epafiginfo@state.pa.us for more information.  (formal notice closing program)
