VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electra Meccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO) (“Electra Meccanica” or the “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles, today announced that the Company has received approval to participate in the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program, which will provide consumers who purchase a new SOLO EV in Oregon with a $2,500 per vehicle rebate.
The Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program (CVRP) offers a cash rebate for Oregon drivers who purchase or lease electric vehicles. It is not a tax credit. The program is designed to reduce vehicle emissions by encouraging more Oregonians to purchase or lease electric vehicles rather than gas vehicles.
The CVRP is part of the Go Electric Oregon initiative, which aims to have at least 50,000 registered electric vehicles on Oregon roads by 2020. Interested readers can view the list of eligible vehicles by clicking here.
“We are delighted to have been granted a $2,500 consumer rebate designation in the State of Oregon on the heels of our recent California rebate designation, where consumers are currently eligible for a $900 rebate,” said Jerry Kroll, CEO of Electra Meccanica. “This rebate reduces the retail price of a new SOLO in Oregon to just $13,750 – making it the least expensive yet most exhilarating EV in its class while remaining accessible to many Oregonians. The State of Oregon has stood out as a leader in the fight against climate change and we look forward to selling our vehicles throughout the state.”
