Rebates available for San Mateo County residents who are first-time EV buyers!

Attention, San Mateo County residents: Drive electric and save!

Peninsula Clean Energy is providing first-time EV buyers in San Mateo County a rebate on the purchase of a new electric car. Now through December 31, 2020.

Click here to learn more.

Why make the switch? Electric vehicles (EVs) generally cost about half as much to run, have lower maintenance costs and emit 25x less emissions than gasoline-powered cars! Are you still not sure? Peninsula Clean Energy is also providing residents the opportunity to experience driving an EV with a $200 rebate toward the rental of an EV and assistance in setting up at-home or at-dealership test drives.
