State Incentives
2026 EV Incentives in California
Federal clean vehicle credits ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, so state and utility incentives matter more. Use official program links before purchase.
California EV shoppers should check statewide programs, air-district rebates, utility charger programs, and income-qualified offers separately. Availability can vary by funding cycle and ZIP code.

What To Verify Before Buying
Confirm whether the program is statewide or tied to your local air district.

Look for separate home charger or utility make-ready incentives.
Check charger rebates before buying
Some state and utility programs cover home charging equipment or installation. Compare the charger, then verify whether your utility helps pay for it.
