Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the State of California care about cleaner cars?
California is serious about cleaning up our air. More than 90% of Californians breathe unhealthy air, mainly caused by pollution from cars’ exhaust pipes. This is bad for people's health and our economy. Electric cars help reduce pollution coming from our roads and help make our air cleaner.
Why is the State of California providing money for cleaner cars?
Clean energy technology like electric cars and solar panels can be costly up front but will save you money over time. That's why the State of California created different programs to help residents afford to make the switch.
Am I eligible for any of these programs?
You could be! Our benefits finder can help you learn more about California's clean energy and transportation programs and submit an application. Just answer a few questions to see if you’re eligible.
If I check my eligibility will it hurt my credit score?
No. Checking your eligibility won't hurt your credit at all. In fact, many of these programs are meant for people with low credit scores.
