Davis County residents who own an aging gas or diesel vehicle could receive up to $10,000 toward an all-electric replacement through a state-backed incentive program administered by the Davis County Health Department.

The Electric Vehicle Replacement Assistance Program, known as EVRAP, pairs the Health Department with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality to help income-qualified households swap older, higher-polluting cars for battery-electric vehicles. The program is funded by the EPA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grant and aims to replace 1,370 older vehicles statewide over five years, according to the DEQ.

One catch: Residents should call before they visit. The nonprofit tracking site Coltura reported in a September update that Davis County and several other local administrators had paused new applications. The Davis County Health Department's own EVRAP page still lists application instructions and participating dealerships. Whether the program is actively accepting new applicants could not be independently confirmed. The Health Department can be reached at 801-525-5128.

How much money is available?

The voucher amount depends on household income, measured against the federal poverty level:

  • Households at or below 300% of the federal poverty level: up to $10,000
  • Households between 301% and 400%: up to $7,000
  • Households between 401% and 500%: up to $4,000

For a family of four in 2026, 500% of the federal poverty level is $165,000 in annual household income. A single person qualifies at up to $79,800, according to the program brochure.

The voucher can be combined with other rebates and tax credits, as long as the total does not exceed the vehicle's cost.

What qualifies?

The vehicle being traded in must be gasoline or diesel powered, titled in the applicant's name with no lien, and registered in Utah for at least one year and within the past 12 months. It must be at least eight model years old (2019 or older for a 2026 application) or have failed an emissions inspection within the last 30 days. The car must be driven under its own power to a participating dealership. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids do not qualify.

The replacement EV must cost $48,125 or less before tax, title and licensing. It can be new or used, model year 2019 through 2027, and must be purchased from a participating EVRAP dealership.

Local dealerships

Nine participating dealerships are listed in Bountiful on the county's dealership roster, including Performance Ford Lincoln, Performance Toyota Bountiful, EV Auto and Kentson Car Company. Autobahn Motors Corp. in North Salt Lake also participates. The full list, updated May 26, is available on the Davis County Health Department website.

How to apply

Applicants must bring a completed EVRAP application, proof of Utah residency and proof of income to the Davis County Health Department's Environmental Health Division at 22 S. State St. in Clearfield. Staff will verify the trade-in vehicle's VIN on site and, if approved, issue a voucher to use at a participating dealership. The state DEQ contact for program questions is Mat Carlile at 385-306-6535.
