Electric Vehicle Incentives in CA

The state of California offers a variety of incentives for drivers throughout the Ladera Heights area. These EV incentives include:

• Senate Bill 1382 (stats. 2022, ch. 375) offers a partial sales and use tax exemption on qualifying zero or near-zero (zero) emission motor vehicles (vehicles) purchased or leased by qualified buyers. This partial sales and use tax exemption is effective from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2027, with eligibility based on the buyer’s household income level, where they reside, and the vehicle leased or purchased.

• The Clean Cars 4 All program (CC4A) offered by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in association with local air districts provides incentives to lower-income California drivers to replace their older, high-polluting motor vehicles with zero-emission vehicles. The current CC4A program provides qualified buyers with grants of up to $9,500 on the purchase or lease of an eligible vehicle.

• The South Coast Air Quality Management District offers up to $12,000 to replace your 2010 or older vehicle (e.g. 2009, 2008, 2007, etc) with a 2017 or newer, cleaner-running Plug-in Hybrid, Fuel Cell, or Battery Electric Vehicle. The program is limited to vehicle owners residing in the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District who meet the income and vehicle requirements.

• The Southern California Edison Pre-Owned EV Rebate Program offers income-qualified customers an additional $3,000 rebate for the purchase or lease of an eligible used EV. Applicants who are eligible for both the Standard option and Rebate Plus can receive a total rebate of $4,000.

• The Consumer Assistance Program's (CAP) vehicle retirement option offers eligible consumers an incentive to retire their operational vehicle. Consumers meeting the income eligibility requirement may receive an additional $500 for each vehicle retired. All other vehicle owners may receive $1,000 to retire their vehicle at a BAR-contracted dismantler.
