Buy a used (pre-owned) battery electric vehicle (BEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and you may be eligible for a cash rebate of up to $1,500. This rebate only applies to used electric vehicles with a purchase price below $22,000.

STANDARD AMP REBATES
• Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) $1,000
• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) $500

INCOME-QUALIFIED AMP REBATES 
• Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) $1,500
• Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) $1,000

The great news for income-qualified customers is that the AMP used-EV rebate can be combined with one of the two state and local programs below that offer additional cash grants from $5,000 to $9,500.

1. Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s Clean Cash for All program (you must turn in a used gas vehicle to qualify)
2. California Air Resources Board’s Clean Vehicle Assistance Program

As an electric vehicle (EV) owner, you're contributing to a cleaner energy future by fueling your vehicle with electricity. PG&E customers with EVs are eligible to receive an $800 Clean Fuel Rebate for their use of electricity as a clean transportation fuel. What does an $800 Clean Fuel Rebate mean for you?

• $800 is about a year and a half's worth of electricity to fuel your car.
• $800 can help towards the installation of a Level 2 home charging station.

The Clean Fuel Rebate comes from a State of California program called the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. The goal of the Standard is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by encouraging the adoption of cleaner transportation fuels, including electricity. Thanks to California EV owners like you, the clean electricity used to fuel your EV helps reduce GHG emissions by 66 percent.

Eligibility requirements

• Have an active residential electric service from PG&E. The account holder may apply on behalf of an EV owner in the household (or tenant in a multifamily property, mobile home park or HOA) with the vehicle owner’s permission.
• Own or lease an eligible plug-in electric vehicle or have permission to apply on their behalf (includes tenants in multifamily building).
• Vehicle has not previously received the Clean Fuel Rebate (including previous ownership).**
• Be current on vehicle registration fees.
• Use same address on registration as your PG&E account.

VALE improves airport air quality and provides air quality credits for future airport development. Created in 2004, VALE helps airport sponsors meet their state-related air quality responsibilities under the Clean Air Act. Through VALE, airport sponsors can use Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds and Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) to finance low emission vehicles, refueling and recharging stations, gate electrification, and other airport air quality improvements.

As of September 2018, VALE grants have funded 105 projects at 51 airports. Details can be found in the project summary below. VALE grants are expected to reduce ozone emissions by 1,192 tons per year for the next 5 years. This is equivalent to removing 66,550 cars and trucks off the road each year.

Business Bucks is an energy-saving program that offers up to $5,000 Energy Efficiency Retrofits to small and mid-sized businesses.

Burbank Water and Power (BWP) has hired Richard Heath and Associates (RHA) to run the Business Bucks Program on our behalf. For more information on Business Bucks—including finding out if your business is eligible to participate—please contact RHA at (877) 290-2590.

SMUD’s incentives make it easy and affordable for your business to be EV ready.

Take advantage of incentives for electric forklifts and your commercial vehicles including light-duty cars, trucks or semi-tractors. Plus, electric vehicle charging installations for customers, tenants or employees are eligible for incentives ranging from $1,500 for each level 2 EV charger port to $80,000 per DC Fast Charger.

SMUD has incentives and information for your electric vehicle needs. 

Choose from one of the following when you purchase or lease a new plug-in electric vehicle (pre-owned vehicles are not eligible):

• $599 incentive to charge free for two years (approximately covers the average cost to charge your plug-in electric vehicle for two years), or
• a 240 Volt high-powered electric vehicle charge

The program provides application assistance, partnership development and capacity building activities for eligible California Climate Investments applicants and is administered by the Strategic Growth Council to create more equitable opportunities by helping under-resourced applicants access funding.

The California Climate Investments Technical Assistance Program supports communities in applying to the California Climate Investments (CCI) funding programs. Created in 2016, the program aims to level the playing field for applicants that may lack the capacity to successfully access these funds, particularly those in that live in the state’s most disadvantaged communities. The Strategic Growth Council (SGC) works alongside a number of State agencies that implement CCI programs to provide application assistance, partnership development and capacity building activities to eligible applicants, enabling them to positively impact their communities. 

Each California Climate Investments program has its own set of goals and intended outcomes, meaning specific technical expertise is often required. In order to provide assistance that is tailored to each program, the SGC has divided resources amongst many of the agencies that administer programs. In many cases, technical assistance is provided through a partnership between state agencies and outside organizations with expertise in each program’s focus. A description of each of the participating CCI programs is listed below.

The Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation (SALC) Program fights climate change by protecting our productive farmlands and encouraging compact transit-oriented communities.

The SALC Program utilizes Cap-and-Trade proceeds to protect agricultural lands on the outskirts of cities and near residential neighborhoods from development.  The SALC program simultaneously supports California’s food security and encourages infill development and low-carbon transportation to curb sprawl.  Urban sprawl not only increases greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, as people have to drive further to get where they need to go, but also encroaches on agricultural lands that both store carbon and sustain our economy.

Provides technical assistance and incentives for the installation of energy efficiency measures and solar PV in low-income multi-family dwellings serving priority populations. These projects reduce residential energy demand and GHG emissions. Low-income residents that participate in this program benefit from lower energy costs. The program also helps preserve affordable housing by reducing owner operating costs.

CSD modeled its Multi-Family Program to improve the energy efficiency of multi-family buildings and achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions. Each building is thoroughly assessed and evaluated both visually and through the use of diagnostic energy audit tools to determine a suite of greenhouse gas reducing energy efficiency and renewable energy measures for installation and living in common areas.

The Association for Energy Affordability, Inc (AEA) serves as the statewide administrator of the LIWP Multi-Family Program. AEA conducts energy audits and modeling to identify energy efficiency measures and renewables for installation in qualifying multi-family buildings, with assistance and incentives to property owners towards agreed-upon scopes of work.

The Clean Truck and Bus Vouchers program provides vouchers for the purchase of advanced technology heavy-duty trucks and buses to support the long-term transition to zero-emission vehicles in the heavy-duty market, as well as supporting investments in other emerging technology to help meet health-based ambient air quality standards, and achieve substantial greenhouse gas reductions.
