Illinois - New hybrid rebate coming

Get your $1,000 rebate!

The Illinois Treasury will start a new rebate program for the buyers of hybrid cars. To start, the state will offer a $1,000 rebate to around 2,000 hybrid buyers as part of the Green Rewards program. However, if there is great interest in the program, the program could be extended to include more rebates.

"Hybrid cars use less gas, but they cost more upfront," Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias said in a statement. "This will help them recoup their investment faster while they save money at the pump."
