Rebate Overview

Overview

QuitCarbon is excited to share the PG&E Pre-Owned EV Rebate, a program that offers rebates to California residents who purchase or lease eligible pre-owned electric vehicles. This initiative aims to make electric vehicles more accessible and affordable for homeowners. The rebate amount ranges from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on eligibility. To qualify, applicants must be active PG&E residential electric customers and submit their application within 180 days of purchasing or leasing the vehicle. The vehicle must be registered at the applicant's PG&E service address. For a list of eligible Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles, please refer to the program's official resources.

Benefits

Upgrading to an electric vehicle can enhance your home's comfort and safety while contributing positively to the environment. By choosing an electric vehicle, you reduce reliance on fossil fuels, leading to cleaner air and a healthier community. Additionally, electric vehicles often have lower maintenance costs, providing long-term savings for homeowners. Embracing this technology not only benefits your household but also supports broader efforts to combat climate change.
