Rebate Overview
Overview
QuitCarbon is excited to share MCE's EV Instant Rebate, a program that offers instant savings when you purchase or lease a qualifying electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) from participating dealerships. This rebate provides $2,000 off for pre-owned vehicles and up to $3,500 off for new ones. Please note that rebates cannot be claimed after the transaction is completed.
Benefits
Upgrading to an electric vehicle can make your home more comfortable and safer. It also increases your home's value and helps protect the environment. By choosing an EV, you contribute to reducing pollution and promoting cleaner air.
More Information
- Eligibility: To qualify, you must be an MCE customer and purchase or lease a qualifying new or used EV or PHEV from a participating dealership. Your new EV must be registered with the DMV at the address associated with your PG&E bill and kept for at least 24 consecutive months after the purchase or lease date. Additionally, you must meet one of the following criteria:
- Be enrolled in programs such as CalWORKs/TANF, CAPI, Clean Cars 4 All, SSI, or others.
- Have a household income at or below 400% of the 2025 Federal Poverty Level Guidelines, based on your most recent tax return. For example, a household of one with a maximum combined income of $62,600 qualifies.
- How It Works: Find a participating dealership and request MCE's EV Instant Rebate at the time of purchase or lease. The rebate will be applied as a discount on the sales contract or lease agreement. Ensure you complete and sign the Customer Eligibility Form in full, by hand. The rebate is not available once the purchase is complete.
- Qualifying Vehicles: Eligible vehicles include new or used EVs and PHEVs with a Vehicle Cash Price of $55,000 or less. The Vehicle Cash Price is the price of the vehicle plus any dealer and/or manufacturer options/accessories, before taxes, fees, extended warranties, gap insurance, and any down payments or incentives/rebates are applied.
