EV Rebates & Credits

Myth: EVs are just too expensive.

Truth: Did you know you can lease an EV for less than the cost of a cell phone? You can also trade a used gas car for a used EV.

Whatever your price point, there are many cost effective ways to drive electric. 
Let's take a look at the incentives for new car buyers . . .


There are U.S. Federal tax CREDITS and State of California CASH rebates up to $13,000 for plug-in vehicles.* 

United States
Up to $7,500 in Federal Tax CREDITS against your tax liability, based on battery size, are available. If you do not have enough of a tax liability, a lease may allow the leasing company to take the tax credit and pass most or all of the credit back to the person leasing the vehicle.

State of California
California residents can get CASH rebates up to $4,500 for the purchase (or lease) of a new BEV or PHEV:

Rebate Project

There is a pilot program only for San Diego County residents that allows residents to get pre-approved for the CA rebates. This allows the resident to apply the rebates toward the down-payment or purchase at the time of sale:

CA low to moderate income CASH rebates up to $2,000 are available based on the type of vehicle (BEV or PHEV) and income. For example, a CA rebate on a Nissan Leaf (BEV) of $2,500 is available, with an additional income based $2,000 CA rebate for low to moderate incomes. Higher income levels are excluded from this rebate:
