Eligibility Requirements

You do not need to be an LADWP account holder to apply for the rebate, but your permanent residence must receive electric service from LADWP.

Eligible vehicles must meet the following criteria:

• Purchased within 12 months of application submittal
• Featured on the list of approved vehicles for the LADWP Used EV Rebate
• With a model year at least two years older than the calendar year in which you apply for a rebate, but not older than eight years.
  • For example, if you apply for a rebate in 2025, your vehicle model year must be from 2017 to 2023.
• With fewer than two Used EV Rebates previously issued by LADWP (LADWP will only issue up to two Used EV Rebates for the same EV). Please obtain the VIN of the vehicle you are considering and review the Rebate Issued List:

Notes:

1. Ensure that LADWP issued fewer than two rebates for this vehicle.
2. If a rebate was issued to a previous owner for the EV you are considering, you may only apply for a rebate after 24 months following the issue date of the first rebate by LADWP.
3. Members of the same household as the applicant who received the first rebate are not eligible to receive a second rebate for the same EV.
4. LADWP will verify the applicant’s participation in EZ-SAVE or Lifeline programs and apply all eligible rebates at the time of application review.
5. To qualify for the additional $2,500 rebate, the service address must be in active participation in an eligible program from the date of EV purchase until the issuance of the rebate check.
6. Eligible applicants may only receive a single rebate under the program regardless of the number of qualifying EVs purchased.
