STEP ONE: Request a Supplier ID: Go to the Minnesota Management and Budget SWIFT website: mn.gov/supplier. More info here: EV Rebate - Payment.
STEP TWO: Email your Supplier ID to the Electric Vehicle Rebate Program: MNEVRebate.COMM@state.mn.us.
If you do not take action, your application will be rejected and you will not get paid your EV rebate.
Status of your EV Rebate:
Due to the high volume of emails and questions we get daily and the limited staff working on the EV Rebate Program, we must set priority in responding to individual emails in order to get applications processed.
Here are a few answers to commonly asked questions:
- If you need to submit your Supplier ID, please EMAIL the information we requested. We will reach out to you with any next steps.
- For the status of your application, review the most recent email from the EV Rebate Program.
- The Electric Vehicle Rebate Program at the Minnesota Department of Commerce launched on February 7, 2024. The State of Minnesota has limited funds for the EV rebate program.
Commerce is reviewing applications on a first-come, first-served basis. Each application must be processed individually to ensure it complies with program and state requirements.
You will receive email notification for any status updates to your application, such as a request for additional information, or if your application has been approved or rejected. To protect against fraud, all status updates will include your EV Rebate application number. We appreciate your patience as we work through the thousands of applications received to date.
How do I apply for the EV rebate?*
Electric vehicle rebate applications must include all three documents.
- Current Driver's License.
- Electric utility bill at the time of EV purchase. For renters who do not have an electric utility bill, submit your renter's lease at the time of EV purchase.
- Purchase agreement or lease. If neither exists, applicants may submit other documentation proving they purchased the EV and the purchase price.
When uploading the required documents, click "Upload Files" to select and upload all required documents at once. Do not upload one document at a time. Once you see a green check next to each document, they have been uploaded correctly.
