I knew about the rebate before buying my Audi A3 eTron, of course, and it helped influence my decision to buy it. I LOVE the car! The electric drive system is wonderful, and of course the gas system is great, too, being an Audi. The combination makes for some great advantages, like not using any gas at stoplights, even when the battery is totally depleted. Anyway, I applied for the rebate soon after getting the car and received it promptly. It was a great help in affording such a great car. I love the HOV lane access, which I use often, and I charge at my workplace almost every day using the free charging station my company provides. Overall, I almost double the distance between gas fill-ups that I would have if the car was not a plug-in electric. Thanks for helping me get such a great car!
