Unlock Instant Savings on New EVs

It has never been easier to save on a new EV. The new federal instant rebates are applied at the dealership and can save you up to $7,500 on many new EVs.   

Unlike previous federal tax credits which were applied when you filed your taxes, the new tax credit doesn’t require you to wait. They are instantly applied at the point of sale. No extra paper work during tax season, no guessing how much it will save you, and no waiting to get your money back.  

Peninsula Clean Energy is here to make the switch to an EV seamless for you. We’ve outlined everything you need to know about the new instant rebates here.   

We also have an independent EV Advisor ready to help you figure out which rebates apply to you, assess the best EV models that fit your lifestyle and budget, learn about charging EVs, and anything else you need to know about switching to an EV. Our EV Advisors aren’t salespeople – they’re deeply knowledgeable about EVs and are here to inform, advise, and support you.  

Which vehicles qualify for the new federal instant rebate? 

Many of the most popular new EV models that fit a variety of lifestyles qualify for these instant rebates.  

Tesla’s models 3, X, and Y are eligible for up to $7,500 in instant rebates. Rivian’s SUVs and trucks are eligible for up to $3,500 in instant rebates. Chevy’s Bolt EV, Bolt EUV, Blazer EV, and Equinox EV are eligible for up to $7,500 in instant rebates.
