Utah residents in Lehi and across Utah County can now apply for the state's Electric Vehicle Replacement Assistance Program (EVRAP), which provides vouchers of up to $10,000 to help low- to moderate-income households replace older polluting vehicles with electric ones.
Program Overview and Funding
The program, administered by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality's Division of Air Quality in partnership with local health departments, launched applications in Utah County on June 17, 2026. It is funded through an EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grant and aims to replace 1,370 older vehicles over five years to improve air quality.
Income Eligibility Requirements
Eligibility requires Utah residency and being at least 18 years old, with household income at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Level. For 2026, this equates to roughly $79,800 for a single person or $165,000 for a family of four. Vouchers scale by income: up to $10,000 for those at or below 300% FPL, $7,000 for 301-400%, and $4,000 for 401-500%.
Trade-In Vehicle Criteria
The trade-in vehicle must be gas- or diesel-powered with a clear title in the applicant's name, have been registered in Utah for at least one year total (including prior owner history), and have been registered within the past 12 months. It must also be at least eight model years old—meaning 2018 or older for 2026 applications—or have failed an emissions test in the last 30 days. The vehicle must be drivable to a dealership.
New Electric Vehicle Standards
Replacement vehicles must be all-electric, model year eight or newer, cost no more than $48,125 before tax, title, and licensing, and be purchased from a participating dealership. Vouchers can stack with other incentives if the total does not exceed the vehicle's cost.
Application Process and Dealerships
Utah County residents apply online through the Utah County Air Quality website at airquality.utahcounty.gov/evrap, where they submit proof of income, residency, and vehicle details. Approved applicants receive a 60-day voucher. Participating dealerships include several in the broader Utah County area such as Doug Smith Chevrolet, Jerry Seiner Chevrolet, and Tesla Motors UT, among others.
Regional Availability and Administration
Other counties show varying availability: some, including Weber-Morgan and Davis, have paused new applications as of May and June 2026, while the program remains overseen statewide by DEQ contact Mat Carlile.
Lehi residents qualify under the Utah County process with no additional local restrictions noted. The program emphasizes primary administration through county health departments rather than direct state applications.
