California Clean Fuel Reward Program Overview

Funded through the California Air Resource Board’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), the California Clean Fuel Reward Program was designed help the state reach its carbon reduction goals by incentivizing electric vehicles. Comparing California Clean Fuel Reward vs. Clean Vehicle Rebate, the California Clean Fuel Reward provides savings up front.

What is California Clean Fuel Reward? It is an electric vehicle time-of-sale (or lease) incentive program that is offered to all California residents — no income or location restrictions. Those who purchase or lease a new eligible vehicle from a participating retailer are eligible for up to a $750 rebate, but the reward drops to $0 as of September 1st, 2022 — so act fast!

How Can I Participate in the California Clean Fuel Reward Program?

1. First, you’ll need to find an eligible vehicle. This includes both new Battery Electric (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) vehicles with a battery capacity greater than 5 kWh.
2. Second, find an eligible automotive retailer. If you have already purchased from a non-approved participating retailer, you may still be eligible for rewards from your electric utility company or through other community incentive programs.
3. Third, sign the contract for your loan or lease. We recommend asking your salesperson for an itemized list of the incentives included in your contract. Your rebate will likely be listed as a “rebate/non-cash credits,” “EV incentive,” “manufacturer rebate,” or “other” line item. It may be listed under “automaker rebates”.
