$2500 CA Rebate Experience?

[gambit48]

Just got my registration today and uploaded everything. Hope I get approved before funding runs out.

There are also income limits to apply so not every CA owner will apply.

Are the income limits for your income the year you got the car or the year you apply or the year you are approved?

Anyone know if the PG&E rebate be gotten more than once? My wife got it last winter for a phev.

Different topic than the CA rebate, but the PG&E Clean Fuel rebate is once per vehicle, forever (i.e. can't get it on a used vehicle if the prior owner got it). New vehicle, new credit.

Right, my question was regarding a different vehicle, but same household. Can the pg&e rebate be done twice.

Yes. Household, I believe, does not matter. By my reading (and this was over a year ago), it is one per VIN.

Also a short thread here: PSA: PG&E and Edison offers $450-$500 rebate.

If it runs out say in the next 3 weeks, and you miss it this year, can you claim it next year assuming program funding is renewed?

Yes sort of. You can actually still apply and then be on the wait list. Once funding is renewed you’ll be the first ones to get it.

It’s been like this since 2014 when I first entered the EV game.

I finally got an e-mail that I'm being sent a check for the CA rebate after having been approved for 10 weeks. I was thinking it was a sham or they had no money, but it looks like it's coming to fruition. I was approved in 4 weeks after applying.

I think CA's fiscal year starts at Oct 1? So if/when it run out in July or August, just have to wait for Oct 1 to apply? Or maybe you could apply ahead of time and the application will just wait for the '19 funding.

CA’s fiscal year starts July 1. CVRP May have a different funding cycle. I believe they have October meetings during which they allocate available funds.

I've gotten it for all three of my EVs so far. And plan to get it once more for my TM3!

Looks like the general funding pool received more funding.

Just got mine approved. Says roughly 60 days for approval? Is that just being conservative or do people get it sooner than that?

It said 60 days now? It used to say 30 days I think. It took about 30 days back in Apr this year for approval. But after getting the approval email, there is a 90 days wait for the check. I just got my check like 1 or 2 weeks ago and I was approved in May.

 

[BOBEDIGITL]

As of 8/20, expected approval is 70 days now.

 

[chasemym3]

From submission to receipt of check, took me just under three months.

 

[oripaamoni]

Got my car early april and had already pre qualified, finished up the online stuff immediately, just got my check 2 weeks ago.

Seems like they want to keep the rebate going for a while.

My check is in the mail.

Unless you need the rebate ASAP, funding running out is temporary. After funds are exhausted, the CVRP program will be (primarily) funded from Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds sooner or later.
