I think you're right. the waitlist ending 9/24 is probably referring to the fact that you can apply normally now. Good call, now im much more motivated to find a solid EV deal, maybe even an FCV deal for 5k rebate.
woodburyowner said:No, that's a different bucket. I think Cares is misinterpreting what is mentioned on the CVRP website. Funds were just replenished a month or two ago and the waitlist has been cleared up now. So now all applicants get the rebate without being on a waitlist.

recently, this has happened almost every year. Funds run out, waitlist begins, funds are replenished, waitlist applicants are made whole, applications are opened up again. Granted there are WAY more EV buyers than before, so can't say how long future funds will last, but i've done this 3x now, waitlisted every time, and each time i got paid, albeit months later.

CVRP website still shows $80M left in funding. Where are you getting your info?
