DOVER, Del. (AP) - Delaware environmental officials say rebates have been increased for residents and businesses that own or lease battery electric vehicles.

The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control said in a news release Thursday that vehicles which run solely on batteries using no other fuels can get up to $3,500 rebates.

DNREC also says up to $1,500 in rebates is available for plug-in hybrid electric, propane and natural gas vehicles.

The new rebate amounts apply to vehicles and equipment purchased on or after Nov. 1.
