“Rental fleet” means a fleet categorized under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as an establishment engaged in renting passenger cars without drivers, generally for short or long periods of time (2007 NAICS code 532111 and 532112). “Car share fleets” are vehicle fleets solely composed of car sharing vehicles. These vehicles are under common ownership or fiduciary control, including, but not limited to, entities sharing a common Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). For CVRP purposes, even if the car share fleets are part of different subsidiaries or divisions of an organization, including but not limited to entities sharing a common TIN, they are considered a single fleet. The organization owning the rebated car sharing vehicles must own and operate the car sharing program and use the rebated vehicles exclusively for car sharing purposes. "Car sharing" means a model of vehicle rental where users can rent vehicles for short periods of time and users are members that have been pre-approved to drive.

Vehicle Information
Did you purchase or lease your vehicle?
Please enter your lease term in months (e.g. 48). Leased vehicles with lease terms less than 30 months are ineligible to participate in the CVRP. If you are attempting to apply under the Reduced Ownership Provision available to car share and rental fleets, please contact CVRP Staff at 866-984-2532.
Please refer to the date on your Purchase or Lease Agreement. For Tesla vehicles and other vehicles ordered without a standard lease/purchase agreement, the date of first registration with the California DMV is considered the date of lease/purchase. Applicants will need to re-apply if an application is submitted before this date.
Dealership Information
Please refer to the dealer address on your Purchase or Lease Agreement.
Applicant Income Information

Gross income includes both taxable and non-taxable incomes sources. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: Wages, unemployment, workers' compensation, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, public assistance, veterans' payments, survivor benefits, pension or retirement income, interest, dividends, rents, royalties, income from estates, trusts, educational assistance, alimony, child support, assistance from outside the household, and other miscellaneous sources.
If you are selected for income verification, the Administrator will review the following sections of your federal tax return as reflected on your IRS tax transcript to determine your gross annual income:

  • On IRS Form 1040: Sum of lines 1–7. Line 9 is not used to calculate total gross income for the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project.
    and (if applicable),
  • On IRS Form 1040 Schedule 1: Sum of lines 1-8.
    Note: If Line 8, “Other Income,” is negative, then it will not be included as part of CVRP’s income calculation, unless an exception applies. If Line 8 on Schedule 1 is negative, then the corresponding “Statement” filed with your 1040 must be provided. CSE will review documentation for possible exceptions. One such exception is the inclusion of a negative community property adjustment. Net operating losses carried over from previous years are not an exception.

If you have not filed taxes or if tax transcripts do not appear to reflect gross annual income, other supporting documentation will be requested. For more information on income verification or income eligibility requirements, please visit the eligibility guidelines page.
For Married Filing Jointly, please verify that the Gross Annual Income entered above includes the total income reported on your tax return for both you and your spouse.
Household Information
For the purposes of CVRP, a household includes all family members or other unrelated persons, including the rebate applicant, who reside together and/or share common living expenses. Note: Roommates who do not have a lease separate from the applicant are considered part of the applicant’s household.
Total Household Size is based on responses entered above. Please review for accuracy.
Please provide your household's total annual gross income. For the purposes of CVRP, gross annual income includes that of the applicant and all other individuals in the household, ages 18 and older, regardless of whether or not they are related to the rebate applicant.
