The list below contains summaries of all Delaware incentives and laws related to EVs.
Retail electricity customers with at least one grid-integrated electric vehicle (EV) will be credited kilowatt-hours for energy discharged to the grid from the EV's battery at the same rate that the customer pays to charge the battery. A grid-integrated EV is defined as a battery-powered motor vehicle that has the ability for two-way power flow between the vehicle and the electric grid as well as communications hardware and software that allow for external control of battery charging and discharging. (Reference Delaware Code Title 26, Chapter 10, Section 1014g)
To improve air quality and reduce operating expenses from state vehicle use, all state agencies must reduce petroleum consumption by 25%, vehicle emissions by 25%, and vehicle miles traveled by 15% by the end of 2012 as compared to Fiscal Year 2008 levels. This will be achieved through alternative fuel vehicle acquisition, the use of alternative fuels, and implementation of idle reduction measures. (Reference Executive Order 18, 2010)
All new light-duty vehicles state agencies, departments, and offices purchase must be hybrid electric, alternative fuel, fuel-efficient, or low emission vehicles, unless such a purchase compromises health, safety, or law enforcement needs. Additionally, the state must develop procedures for diesel fleet vehicles to use biodiesel fuel blends of the highest percent content that is practical. (Reference Executive Order 18, 2010)
