Tesla added the alert that advises California residents that they can now receive an additional $1,500 incentive for purchasing an electric car. Available on the Design Studio for all four Tesla vehicles, the alert states, “the $1,500 Clean Fuel Reward is now available for California residents.
The incentive was offered to California car buyers last year in mid-November 2020 and expired on December 31, 2020. CARB, along with numerous utility providers in California, came up with the incentive to convince car buyers to either purchase or lease new vehicles that are eligible for the reward. No income or location restrictions are outlined. It just requires the purchased vehicle to be registered within the State of California.
“The goal of the program is to accelerate the number of electric vehicles on California’s roads and highways,” Sandy Berg, Vice Chairperson of CARB, said. “The instant point-of-sale price reduction of up to $1,500 will help make these ultra-clean cars more affordable, especially for low-income families or those living in disadvantaged communities.”
The incentive qualifies both Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV). Additionally, the Clean Fuel Reward’s official website states that “Battery Electric (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) light-duty vehicles with a battery capacity of 5 kWh or greater are eligible for the California Clean Fuel Reward.”
Thanks to their considerably large batteries, all of Tesla’s vehicles qualify for the maximum $1,500 reward. The incentive does not replace the California Clean Vehicle Rebate Program (CVRP) and can be stacked with other incentives for more savings.
