The Oregon Legislature just passed a new state transportation bill which includes a $2,500 state tax rebate for the purchase of a new EV.

Oregon is an absolutely ideal place to own an EV, both in terms of charging infrastructure and climate. I could definitely live in Portland, beautiful city. Lucky Oregonians!

Hoping that the new government on BC Canada will introduce something like this too. Won't help me, but I'd love to see more EVs on the road.

It was the most youthful city as well

Too bad they charge high EV fees
 
Some more details, via GCR:
Oregon passes electric-car purchase rebates up to $2,500; new EV fees delayed to 2020

And some more, via ABG:
Oregon introduces EV rebates, bicycle tax
http://www.autoblog.com/2017/07/10/oregon-ev-rebates-bicycle-tax/

$15 excise tax on adult bicycles (defined as those with tires 26" or larger diameter) over $200, funds to go for bike and pedestrian infrastructure projects.
 
so the comments section had this to say: 90 days after the legislation is signed, then the $2500 is up for grabs (for 10kWh BEVs and larger)?

So , Oct 7th, 2017 was set as the Oregon EV rebate day. (my term).

so any EV purchase during the summer months (rest of July, August and Sept), do not qualify. Seems that might stymie/delay OR EV sales a bit...

Correct me if I'm not reading this properly.

I'm excited...but have to wait 'till Oct to really be excited, I guess.
