Clean Vehicle Assistance Program - Application Step 1

Important information:

This is step 1 of the CVA Program application. Once you have completed and submitted this information, your application will be on file in our system. If we secure sufficient funds from the California Air Resources Board, we will email you with instructions to complete steps 2-5 and submit your application.

Please expect to wait many months before we invite you to complete the rest of your application. We process applications as they are received; we do not expedite applications on request. If you need a vehicle urgently, we encourage you to explore other options. You can find a full list of California clean vehicle incentive programs here.

We have a Reservation List in place due to limited funding. This is why the application is currently limited to the first step. To learn more about the Reservation List, visit our website here.

Please do not submit multiple applications as it can further delay processing times. If you do not complete and submit this form, you will not be in our system and we will not email you.
