You need to be pre-approved for a rebate before buying your EV. If your application is approved, you have a year to use your rebate.

Individuals can only get a rebate once during the lifetime of the passenger vehicle rebate program. If you got a rebate any time after the program started in 2015, you are not eligible to get another.
