The Air District is hosting the Clean Cars for All electric vehicle showcase on Saturday, August 10, in Oakland.

Spare the Air Status

The event will include a short presentation about the Clean Cars for All grant program, which provides up to $9,500 for low-income members of communities disproportionally affected by air pollution to retire older vehicles and replace them with a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle, or get a Clipper Card for public transit. Additionally, electric vehicles will be on display with testimonials from electric vehicle owners, and there will be on-site assistance to complete a Clean Cars for All application.

The average clean vehicle costs $22,000 and the Clean Cars for All incentive ranges from $2,500 to $9,500. The amount of money received from the Clean Cars for All program is based on the household size and income, and the choice of replacement vehicle. The average Clean Cars for All incentive is $7,500. The average loan financing for purchasing a replacement vehicle is $14,500. The program also offers up to $2,000 for home vehicle charging equipment and installation for residents that purchase a plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle.
