California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project

Fwiw, I talked to some CARB folks last week & was reassured funds should last beyond my X delivery. I think you're fine if taking delivery in 2013.

? really. There are a lot of EV/ eligible cars in CA being bought up this year. Just 1000 model S' covers $2.5M and I'd expect more than 1000 in CA through 2013

They must be expecting more funding.

I just noticed the remaining funds went up today, by a couple thousand dollars. I guess they must have found some invalid applications.

I specifically asked, it was someone in the CARB program that I know. But that's not a guarantee, only what I believe.

Great news. Of course, this one time I read the first and last page of posts (and didn't see your note on the second page). I then found the phone numbers and made a call into them as well, but no answer (likely they are gone for the day). I thought for sure they'd run out months ago when I last looked at the site, but it's good to see they are still funding it at some level.

I hope to pick up my 60KW at the end of the week (at least the VIN is in hand).

I notice they've added a note under the Model S link:

This is not the application for the 60 kWh battery Model S. Rebate eligibility of the 60 kWh battery Model S is in progress. Please check back in the coming weeks.

Weeks?! I don't like the sound of that.

Yes, the statement of "Please check back in the coming weeks" was just added today. The funds will run out in matter of weeks. I wonder what is holding up the process?

I was approved in December, but no check yet. Anyone receive one? Says it can take 60 days.

I received my check 30 days after they approved my paperwork. ( Prius plug in ). Hopefully they will add more funds soon.

How do new funds get approved and allocated for this non-profit? I don't understand how they can just continue to keep adding more money to the pool of CA rebates (not that I'm complaining, my delivery window is 1/26 to 2/9... cutting it real close with existing funds :frown

I was just told that the 60kWh pack will be added to the eligibility list by the end of the week.

Excellent timing. Thanks markb1

ill start checking the website more often.

 

[contaygious]

Just got my check in the mail yay!

 

[markb1]

60kWh appears to be eligible now. I wonder how much of a backlog of 60kWh owners there is?

Thanks, mark! I've submitted my app; the CVRP folks will review and get back to me in 3-5 days.

I'm assuming the online applications are added immediately to the "currently pending" amount on the website, and the best estimate of unclaimed funds is the "remaining funds" minus "currently pending".

This number went from $4,260,679 one week ago to $3,821,079 today. That's a difference of $439,600, which is an average of $62,800 per day. At this rate, it will take 60 days to use up all of the money.

Just got my check in the mail yay!

Ditto and grats!

 

[giants2001]

Got my official application today. My Funds have been reserved provided I get all the paperwork completed on time.
Looks like there is still $3.8 million left according to website.

Looks like there is still $3.8 million left according to website.

I think subtracting pending applications ($444,800 right now) from remaining funds give a better estimate of what's really left. So that means there's $3,383,379 still available. I've been tracking both in the top post of this thread.
