        How Do I Get My EV Tax Credit?
        You will be able to claim up to $7,500 in credit against the federal income taxes you owe once you file for the year. You can only claim the EV tax credit during the year in which you purchased the vehicle. If youā€™re also eligible for a tax refund, youā€™ll receive both the refund and tax credit. We can also help you file for EV tax credits in California when you purchase a qualifying EV or PHEV at our dealership.

        Does California Have Electric Car Incentives?
        Yes, the California Clean Fuel Reward offers up to $750 in savings with the purchase or lease of an eligible new Battery Electric (BEV) or Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) vehicle. This can be combined with the federal tax credit.

        Clean Vehicle Assistance Program (CVAP)
        The Clean Vehicle Assistance Program provides grants up to $5,000 and affordable financing to help low-income Californians purchase a new or used hybrid or electric vehicle. Our goal is to make clean vehicles accessible and affordable to all who qualify.
        A rebate of up to $2,000 is also available for participants to purchase and install a home charger. CVAP cannot be stacked with Clean Cars for All.

        Which Chevy Models Qualify for Federal EV Tax Credits?
