Say goodbye to gas with used EV rebates!

San Mateo County residents can receive a rebate of up to $4,000 to offset the purchase price of a used electric vehicle (EV)

Used EV owners save money on fueling and maintenance costs. Now, thanks to rebates from Peninsula Clean Energy, they can also enjoy immediate savings at time of purchase.

And income-qualified residents can save even more by combining additional offers from other state and local programs.

“I wholeheartedly recommend this program. Applying is simple and the amazing Staff helps every step of the way. It’s a money-saver and a smart, environmentally friendly investment. Peninsula Clean Energy made it easy to make the decision to buy a used EV.”

– Victor B., used EV owner and San Mateo County resident

Peninsula Clean Energy is a public, locally-controlled electricity provider that provides its electric customers with energy that is 100% carbon-free and the choice of having 50% to 100% of their electricity supplied from clean, renewable sources at competitive rates. They generate the electricity, and PG&E delivers it over their lines and wires.

Since 2016 PCE has saved over 842,000 metric tons of carb emissions, an amount equivalent to avoiding the use of 95 million gallons of gas! They use sources such as wind and solar to be 100% carbon-free and they are on target to become 100% renewable by 2025.
