CA State Program Overview
California has implemented the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, also known as CALeVIP, to offset the costs of installing charging stations for electric vehicles. This state-wide program offers incentives for installing Level 2 and/or Direct Current (DC) Fast Chargers. Depending on the county the chargers are installed in, incentives range from $5,000 to $80,000 per charger. Liberty Access Technologies is a qualified network provider through CALeVIP, which allows our customers in each and every county to qualify for these incentives.
In addition to the Clean Vehicle Rebates, local air district and utility companies may offer additional incentives for the installation of chargers. Please visit the Clean Vehicle Rebate Program’s link to find applicable incentives in your county.
