New California $5,000 EV Rebate Covers USED EV as Well!

[gene]

NEW Program! State of California pays you $5,000 for purchase of a full battery EV NEW or USED!

This is huge as there are plenty of excellent used Nissan Leaf’s, Fiat 500e’s, Chevy Spark EV, VW E-Golf, Mercedes B250, BMW i3, Kia Soul-ev, etc, at less than $10k. California is paying $5000, which 50% of these used EV’s for you!

The program even pays for a charger at your home.

Your household income must be below certain limits such as $48k for a single person, or $65k for a couple. Many, many people can take advantage of the limited offer and start commuting fossil free!

If you qualify, and if you add in not buying gas anymore, you are looking at a free car with gas savings with a few years of ownership.

Tell your friends!

Overall sounds great ...but this ^ ..kinda screws things up for used Tesla’s

Many of us know plenty of people who might be able to use this program by buying any one of the excellent used EV's and kick the fossil fuel addiction.

 

[Cheburashka]

Yeah, maybe a used Spark EV or something, but I doubt anyone making $65K in California can afford any Tesla, new or used.

 

[Bet TSLA]

Lots of wealthy retired people who make close to $0 each year. The way TSLA has been going, I'll make negative dollars this year.

Wait it works for new car. Does it mean you can get 5000 + 5000 from CVRP if you are low income?

Fiat 500e goes for sub 10K all the time. With this you can have a 90 miles EV for less than $5K

Why?

 

[P85_DA]

Why?

Uhh I’m assuming that income bracket where thresholds are at ..are not Tesla buyers ??? Maybe I’m stereotyping but those thresholds are low for couple or singles

 

[ACA Man]

This is great news in a grander scheme.

 

[gaswalla]

why can't someone who qualifies buy the car and then sell it to someone who doesn't qualify?

Will make used Teslas more affordable.

Why isn’t this part of CVRP? Can someone apply for CVRP and this new grant?

Can I stack a Clean Vehicle Assistance Program grant with a grant or rebate from another state-funded program, such as the Clean Vehicle Rebate Program, Replace Your Ride, or Tune In Tune Up?
No, clean vehicle grants and rebates that are funded by California Climate Investments cannot be stacked with Clean Vehicle Assistance Program grants.

Any update on this? I called tesla in the mid West and they said they still aren't participating in this. Sent an email to a guy with customer service and he said he would forward it to the people that would do it ...I guess only time will tell.

the program has been closed since November of last year, way too late now. they received too many applicants.

Twice the sales tax, for starters.

Thanks, I know though, I went with the replace your ride program. I can get s check for $9500 but Tesla STiLL hasn't joined the program. All the finance people I speak with says "yea that's sounds awesome we will get on it.." then silence...

Yea the program came & went . . . but thinking back then .... the original Junkie Leaf - may easily have less than 45 miles left on it - & cost only $3,500. or less. sooo i wonder how many xfred thos POS's to a family member "tax exempt sale" (maybe/maybe not money changed hands) and ended up making a quick $1,000+. Yea, no wonder it closed so quick.

CA taxes private party transactions like automobiles?!?
