On March 5, 2019, the Governor signed HB1258, giving spending authority for the Volkswagen Mitigation Trust funds. Of the $8,125,000 allotted to the state, a maximum of $1,218,750 can be used for electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) rebates. The Department will use VW funds from Category 9 (Light Duty ZEV Supply Equipment) as rebates for the project. The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources administers the programs in South Dakota. Total rebate per the installation of an EVCS will be up to 80% of the cost.
