The Community Charging Rebates Program Round 4 is open until January 20, 2026, 5:00 pm.
Round 4 of the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Community Charging Rebates program opened on November 6th, 2025, with $3 million in federal funding available for rebates to eligible parties for procurement and installation of Level 2 EV chargers in multi-family housing, workplaces, and public venues. Due to high demand, round 4 will close at 5:00 pm on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. ODOT anticipates that all available federal funding for Round 4 of this program will be reserved by that time. ODOT will continue to accept applications for rebates through close of business (5:00 pm) on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, and will reserve as many projects as funding allows, in this round. ODOT plans to release another round of the federally-funded Community Charging Rebates program later this year.
Apply today by filling out the application form, or by visiting ODOT's information page. Please see the Round 4 Guidelines (linked here) for detailed information about the program and process for applying.

Oregon Equity Map
70% of rebate funds are reserved for projects located within priority communities, defined as disadvantaged and rural communities. ODOT is using its statewide equity map to determine disadvantaged communities and the Office of Rural Health’s designation as non-urban to determine rural communities.
Rebate Eligibility
To apply for a rebate under the Program, eligible applicants must:
- Be a business, nonprofit organization or state, local or Tribal government entity licensed to do business in Oregon.
- Be the Site Owner of an eligible location or their Authorized Agent with a Site Verification Form or Site Host Agreement. Third-party organizations may assist Eligible Applicants in the application process or apply for a rebate on their behalf, but the rebate must go to the entity that incurs project costs.
