Benefit type
Point Of Sale Vehicle Incentive
Funding status
CARB's Aug. 27 workgroup presentation says the $135.5 million one-time appropriation includes about $128.7 million for manufacturer vehicle grants and about $6.8 million (5%) for CARB administration. As of Aug. 17, CARB estimated about 6,000 vehicle incentives awarded and about $20 million in incentive funding expended, split roughly $10 million CARB / $10 million manufacturers. Manufacturer-specific remaining balances are not publicly established here; availability varies and may close.
Application timing
Point of sale through participating automakers/dealers. MyFirstEV launched Aug. 3, 2026; availability varies by automaker/dealership and incentives are first-come, first-served while the applicable manufacturer funding remains.
Consumer restrictions
California resident.
First-time zero-emission vehicle buyer/lessee under program requirements; CARB says the incentive is per individual, not household, and requires self-attestation that the person has not previously owned or registered a ZEV.
CARB's Aug. 27 presentation states there is no income requirement and no vehicle-ownership holding period.
Vehicle eligibility
Eligible vehicles are light-duty BEVs or FCEVs at or below 8,500 pounds curb weight.
New vehicles must be model year 2026 or newer; CARB's Aug. 27 workgroup presentation states the $50,000 limit uses base manufacturer suggested retail price (base MSRP).
Used vehicles must be at least two model years older than the calendar year, cost no more than $25,000, and be certified pre-owned through the manufacturer and its dealers.
The statutory new/used price caps do not apply to qualifying California-headquartered zero-emission vehicle manufacturers; CARB's Aug. 27 presentation identifies Lucid and Rivian.
CARB says participating automakers publish eligible models and trim levels on their websites; program and dealer availability can vary.

Methodology
How reviewed records are published
The finder publishes only structured program records that passed editorial review, cite at least one official source, and have not reached their next scheduled review time.
Coverage is intentionally limited to programs the newsroom has researched. It is not presented as a complete national directory or as an eligibility determination.
Important assumptions
Programs can change, pause, exhaust funding, or apply narrower eligibility rules after the displayed verification time.
Always confirm availability and eligibility with the linked administrator before making a purchase or project commitment.
Common questions
What to know about this finder
Does this list every EV incentive?
No. It shows only programs currently covered by At The Charger's reviewed dataset. The coverage count and jurisdictions are displayed with the results.
Does a listed program mean I qualify?
No. The finder summarizes published program rules; administrators make eligibility and funding decisions.
New dcbel and Wallbox combinations add the Nissan Leaf, Volvo EX90, Polestar 3, Kia EV9 and EV6, but the $18,300 figure is vendor-specific and PG&E's own rules can limit its upfront incentive when another program already covered the full charger-and-installation cost.
