Customers who meet the PG&E Pre-Owned EV Rebate program requirements and are income-qualified may be eligible for the Rebate Plus option of $4,000.
If an applicant meets all other program requirements and qualifies under Eligibility Scenario 1 or Scenario 2 below, they may be eligible for the Rebate Plus option. If an applicant receives a rebate for the Standard option, the applicant may not apply again later for the difference between the Standard option and the Rebate Plus option, regardless of income qualifications at the time of (or after) the original application.

Vehicles registered to a trust are not eligible for the Rebate Plus option.
An applicant may qualify for the Rebate Plus option if they participated in, and can provide proof of, enrollment for at least one of these public assistance programs on the date the vehicle was purchased or leased:
