The Electric Vehicle Replacement Assistance Program (EVRAP) is a new income-qualified incentive program that helps eligible Utah residents replace older, higher-polluting vehicles with new or used electric vehicles (EVs). The program is designed to improve air quality while making EVs more affordable for low- to moderate-income households.

Who qualifies?
You may be eligible if:
- You live in Utah and are at least 18 years old
- Your household income is at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Level
- You own a gas or diesel vehicle that is:
- Eight model years or older (e.g., if applying in 2026, the vehicle must be a 2018 model year or older), or
- Failed an emissions test within 30 days of applying
- Current Title: The vehicle must currently be titled in your name, and it must have a clear title with no loans or liens attached to it.
- Total Utah Registration: The vehicle must have been registered in Utah for at least one year total (this requirement can be met using the previous owner’s registration history).
- Recent Registration: The vehicle must have been registered in Utah within the past 12 months. This means the registration cannot have expired for more than one year at the time you apply.
- You hold a clear title (no loan or lien)
- You’re willing to purchase a qualifying EV through a participating dealership
Examples of how the “Recent Registration” rule works if you were to apply in May 2026
- Eligible Example: If the vehicle’s registration expired in June 2025, it would qualify. Even though it is currently expired, it has been active within the last 12 months.
- Ineligible Example: If the vehicle’s registration expired back in May 2023, it would not qualify. Because it has been expired for roughly three years, it falls outside of the 12-month window.
Incentive amounts
Depending on your income, you could receive:
| Income level (% of Federal Poverty Level) | Incentive amount |
|---|---|
| 300% and below | Up to $10,000 |
| 301% to 400% | Up to $7,000 |
| 401% to 500% | Up to $4,000 |
Your household income is at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Level. (For reference in 2026, 500% FPL is roughly $79,800 for a single individual or $165,000 for a family of four. To view the complete income chart for all household sizes, please visit the HHS Poverty Guidelines).
These grants can be combined with other rebates and tax credits, as long as the total doesn’t exceed the cost of the vehicle. The voucher will cover the purchase price of the EV up to your approved incentive amount. You will receive the maximum amount for your income tier unless the total cost of the vehicle is less than the voucher value.
Vehicle requirements
Your current vehicle must:
- Be gas or diesel-powered
- Be able to drive under its own power to the dealership
- Not be an EV, motorcycle, RV, camper, or boat
The replacement EV must:
- Be a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). Standard Hybrids and Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs) do not qualify.
- Be new or used, and model year eight years or newer (e.g., for 2026, it must be a 2019 model year or newer)
- Cost no more than $48,125 before tax, title, and licensing
- Be purchased through a participating EVRAP dealership
How it works
- Apply through one of the participating Local Health Departments (Salt Lake, Davis, Weber-Morgan, Utah, or Bear River). They’ll review your information, confirm eligibility, and issue a voucher.
- Take your old vehicle and voucher to a participating dealership.
- Pick your EV, complete the paperwork, and trade in your old car.
- The dealer handles the recycling process and submits all required documents.
- Your voucher is applied to the purchase price, and the Local Health Department reimburses the dealer.
Who’s involved?
- Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ): Provides program oversight.
- Local Health Departments: Bear River, Davis, Salt Lake, Weber-Morgan, and Utah manage applications and vouchers.
- Dealerships and recyclers: Manage EV sales, trade-ins, and recycling.
Why EVRAP matters
EVRAP supports Utah’s goals to reduce emissions and improve air quality, especially in areas most impacted by vehicle pollution. Funded by the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG), the program will replace 1,370 older vehicles over five years, bringing cleaner transportation options to more Utahns.
