Rebate Overview
Overview
QuitCarbon is excited to share the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's Used Electric Vehicle Rebate Program. This program offers rebates up to $1,500 for qualifying used electric vehicles purchased within 12 months of application submission. For residents participating in the Lifeline or EZ-SAVE Low Income Customer Assistance programs, the rebate can increase to a total of up to $4,000. Please note that the vehicle must be listed on the approved vehicle list to qualify.
Benefits
Switching to an electric vehicle can lead to significant fuel savings compared to conventional vehicles, especially when charged during off-peak hours. Electric vehicles have lower operating costs, as they do not require oil changes or exhaust system maintenance. By reducing emissions, EVs help improve the environment and contribute to addressing climate change. EVs are fun to drive! They are typically packed with technology and can be fueled almost anywhere a power outlet is available.
More Information
- Eligible vehicles must be purchased within 12 months of application submission.
- Vehicles must be featured on the approved vehicle list.
- Vehicles must have a model year at least two years older than the calendar year in which you apply for a rebate, but not older than eight years. For example, if you apply for a rebate in 2025, your vehicle model year must be from 2017 to 2023.
- LADWP will only issue up to two Used EV Rebates for the same vehicle. Please obtain the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the vehicle you are considering and check if it’s on the Rebate Issued List.
- If a rebate was issued to a previous owner for the EV you are considering, you may only apply for a rebate after 24 months following the issue date of the first rebate by LADWP.
- Members of the same household as the applicant who received the first rebate are not eligible to receive a second rebate for the same EV.
- LADWP will verify the applicant’s participation in EZ-SAVE or Lifeline program and apply all eligible rebates at the time of application review. To qualify for the $2,500 adder, the service address must be in active participation in an eligible program from the date of EV purchase until the issuance of the rebate check.
