NOTE:

  • These three programs cannot be combined with each other. After submitting a pre-application, our team can help you determine which one is the best fit for you.
  • The Peninsula Clean Energy rebate is $3,700 for a plug-in hybrid EV or $4,000 for a battery EV if combined with funds from any of these programs, or $5,700 for a plug-in hybrid EV or $6,000 for a battery EV if used alone. Savings are always greater by combining program funds.
  • Combined rebates may not exceed the cost of the vehicle. For example, if you receive $9,500 from the Clean Cars for All program and purchase a $10,000 vehicle, the Peninsula Clean Energy rebate would be $500.
