CALeVIP Home Charger Rebate Calculator
$500 to $6,500 depending on income and region — funded region-by-region, first-come first-served.
Standard CALeVIP home charger rebates run about $500-$1,000. Households under 80% of Area Median Income can see $1,000-$3,500, and those under 60% AMI or in a disadvantaged community can see $3,500-$6,500 — but every figure depends on your specific region's currently open project and funding.

How this is calculated
CALeVIP isn't one program with a fixed nationwide number — it's a series of independently funded regional projects, each setting its own rebate amount, income tiers, and open/close dates.
This tool shows illustrative statewide ranges by income tier (standard, under 80% AMI, and under 60% AMI or a disadvantaged-community census tract) based on typical published amounts, but your actual region's current project could differ, or could have no open funding window at all right now.
Many CALeVIP rebates can also stack with the federal Section 30C EV charger tax credit, subject to that credit's own rules. Because funding is first-come, first-served and regions open and close independently, always check calevip.org for the live, region-specific number before budgeting your installation around this estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the CALeVIP home charger rebate?
Amounts range from about $500 for a standard rebate up to $6,500 for lower-income or disadvantaged-community households, depending on your region and income tier. Rebates are funded region-by-region and run out on a first-come, first-served basis.
Is CALeVIP one statewide program?
No. CALeVIP funds and operates through separate regional projects that each open, close, and set their own exact rebate amounts independently — there's no single guaranteed statewide number, and some regions may not have an active window at any given time.
Can I combine CALeVIP with the federal EV charger tax credit?
Yes, CALeVIP rebates have generally been stackable with the federal Section 30C charger tax credit, subject to that credit's own eligibility rules and expiration/phase-out schedule — confirm current federal credit status when you file.
What counts as income-qualified for CALeVIP?
Tiers are generally set relative to Area Median Income (AMI) or a disadvantaged-community census tract designation — households below about 80% AMI often qualify for a moderate boost, and those below about 60% AMI or in a disadvantaged community can qualify for the largest rebates.
How do I actually apply for a CALeVIP rebate?
Apply directly through calevip.org, which lists currently open regional projects, exact rebate amounts for that region, and remaining funding. Because funding is first-come, first-served, apply as soon as you're ready to install.
