CSE is the statewide administrator for the Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles (MOR-EV) program that aims to provide air pollution emission reductions for the commonwealth by increasing the use of zero-emission electric vehicles. We promote greater adoption and use of EVs, including battery-only, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles through outreach and education with a variety of partners including consumers and dealers.
Funded by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ Department of Energy Resources, the program provides rebates up to $2,500 for the purchase or lease of light-duty electric vehicles and motorcycles.
