Take advantage of every opportunity to save when you go electric

EVs are eligible for incentives beyond CVRP and federal tax credit

Your local air district1 or electrical utility may provide further resources to maximize your savings when you switch to an EV. These include rebates for purchases or leases and incentives for installing Level 2 home charging stations.

In addition, many utilities offer special reduced time-of-use (TOU) rates for home EV charging when electrical grid demand is low. Learn more by contacting your local utility.

Following is a list of California air districts and utilities that offer rebates for new and used EVs and home charging stations. The rebate amounts listed below are the maximum an applicant could receive. Visit the program website to check eligibility.
