If you’re one of the lucky few who applied, the Department of Revenue tells you that you don’t want to reapply.

“The law on the e-bike bill required that rebates be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis,” said a finance ministry official. “Because of this provision, we will provide more data on when programs will reopen so that potential applicants can plan for the future. “
