CA Clean Fuel Reward started today for extra $1500 off at purchase for EV

[srogers]

Right now, the only Ford dealer in SF bay area is in Walnut Creek.

I don't see Serramonte Ford (Colma), Towne Ford (Redwood City), James Ford (Half Moon Bay), Sunnyvale Ford, Frontier Ford (Santa Clara), Capital Ford (San Jose), Fremont Ford, Livermore Ford, etc.

I hope they'll all join very soon.

I have sent a note to Towne Ford to see if they will be participating.

Time will tell but I am wondering how many Ford dealers will really take the initiative to register. After all, the folks who decided to the order the Mach E and are waiting for deliveries cannot switch to a registered dealer now. Sure, its useful for the dealer to register when there are stock cars in the parking lots but will need motivation and customer centric Ford dealerships to do this now. Perhaps it will help with non Mach E PHEV sales if the register sooner.

I just received a reply from Towne Ford.

"We just were recently informed about this program and signed up today. We should be up on their system within a week."

I can see why PG&E is discontinuing their $800 rebate, and assume like SCE this instant replaces that (cannot get both) should any of us be lucky enough to get their car before Dec 31st.

PG&E website says the following if you click the "Apply" button for the $800 Clean Fuel Rebate. So @VegStang is correct that one cannot get both even if one gets their car by 12/31. See below (emphasis mine).

Attention:

The Clean Fuel Rebate program will be closing at the end of 2020. All applications are due by 11:59pm on December 31, 2020. Submitted applications will be reviewed on a first come, first serve basis. Visit the Clean Fuel Rebate FAQ Section to review full eligibility criteria.

PG&E and other California electric utilities are teaming up with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to offer the California Clean Fuel Reward (CCFR), a point-of-sale incentive of up to $1,500 for the purchase or lease of any eligible new Battery Electric or Plug-in Hybrid vehicle from a participating automotive retailer. The incentive is available starting November 17, 2020.

PG&E customers are eligible for either the Clean Fuel Rebate or the California Clean Fuel Reward, but not both. Clean Fuel Rebate applications will be screened for eligibility and rejected if the CCFR was received at the time of purchase.

For more information on the California Clean Fuel Reward program please visit www.cleanfuelreward.com, email [email protected] or call 1-800-880-0320.

My dealer Encinitas Ford got back to me indicating that they already registered even before my email. Glad to hear they are on top of it. I am sure other Ford dealers will also register if not already signed up.

Ok this makes sense now...looks like the new Clean Fuel Reward is replacing the Clean Fuel Rebate program and its better in a way at least to those that would not otherwise qualify for the rebate.

I am assuming the new Clean Fuel Reward will be still valid when most of us get our vehicles in early 2021.

We have to give garfieldorlando 10% as a finders fee though.

What, his uncle is mixed up with these government thugs? I don't think so. This is not New Jersey. ?

 

[VegStang]

Sunnyvale Ford is now checking on the rebate (I assume that means they will now register.)

The GM at Fremont Ford just informed me that he has registered for the rebate and it should be active by the end of the month.

My dealer @ Serramonte forwarded the info to the GM.

GM @ Serramonte started the enrollment process. They weren't aware but are eager to get this out to their customers. It's understandable considering the program launched yesterday.

Waiting on a response from Hilltop Ford in Richmond.
