FALL 2025

In celebration of National Drive Electric Month, San José Clean Energy is bringing you exclusive rebates and savings on electric vehicles (EVs). But before we talk savings, did you know these fun facts about EVs? 

• Cleaner for the environment: EVs produce no tailpipe emissions, helping improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gases. 
• Lower maintenance costs: With fewer moving parts and no oil changes, EVs cost less to maintain over time. 
• Fun to drive: Electric motors provide instant acceleration, a quiet ride, and smooth handling. 

Plus, San José has more public EV chargers per capita than any other major U.S. city, with over 1600. That means charging around town couldn't be more convenient. With more chargers being installed throughout the state and nationwide, charging an EV is easier than ever. 

 Own an EV? Fill out this form and we may share your story.

San José Clean Energy is making it easier than ever to switch to an electric vehicle during National Drive Electric Month (and beyond). With our EV Instant Rebates, you can get: 

• $4,000 off new EVs (battery electric only) 
• $2,000 off used EVs (battery electric only) 
• Discount applied right at the dealership 

And if you’re enrolled in CARE or FERA state electric bill assistance programs, or are already approved for the Clean Cars for All program, or Driving Clean Assistance Program, you automatically qualify. Simply visit a participating dealership with your ID and a copy of your PG&E bill (or award letter) to receive your rebate on the spot! 

If you’re not enrolled in the above programs but your household income is less than 100% Area Median Income (over half of all San José households), you also qualify! Simply apply online with proof of income to receive an EV Instant Rebate code that you can share with any participating dealership. It's the easy way to save thousands on an electric vehicle – no hassle required. 

Don’t miss this chance to make a positive impact on the planet while saving money!

San José residents may qualify for a rebate to help with the cost of installing an at-home electric vehicle charger through PG&E. Depending on income, you could get up to 100% off the purchase price of a PG&E-approved Level 2 charging unit. The program covers the charger and installation. Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with only one rebate per household. 

Plus, you can also get a federal tax credit for 30% off home EV charger installation through the Inflation Reduction Act – with no income requirements. 

Looking to save even more? Our EV Managed Charging Program shifts your EV charging to off-peak times when energy is cheaper. The Midday Charging Bonus will unlock even more rewards if you schedule your charging between 9am and 2pm!  

• $25 bonus for enrolling  
• $9 quarterly payment for shifting charging during peak events  
• Charging is automatically shifted to off-peak hours  
• Up to an additional $160 a year through our Midday Charging Bonus
