Support to Help You Afford an Electric Vehicle

If you are income-qualified, there are a number of programs to help you:

  • Buy or lease a new or used EV with rebates that lower the upfront cost.
  • Buy a certified used EV and still get warranties and incentives.
  • Turn in a qualifying older used gasoline car to get funds toward a new or used clean car.
  • Finance a vehicle with low-interest loans, even for those with lower credit scores.
  • Get a public transit voucher if you prefer not to own a car.

Income-qualified drivers can get help applying for incentives at Access Clean California.

“I save every week”

To this day, I enjoy how much gas savings I have by purchasing my hybrid. It is not a lot of extra work to find where the charging stations are.

“Can't ask for more. It's a 10 out of 10!!!”

The low-speed torque gives you great stop and go power like a V8. No engine vibration and no exhaust smell.
