California's EV Rebate Won't Apply To All Cars. These 13 Automakers Qualify

• Thirteen automakers are participating in California's EV incentive program.
• The program provides a $3,500 instant rebate on qualifying new EVs and a $1,750 rebate on qualifying used EVs.
• Eligible new cars must cost under $50,000, while used EVs must cost under $25,000 to receive the discount. Unless they're Rivians or Lucids.

California is launching a revamped EV rebate program. After the feds axed their tax credit program last fall, Governor Gavin Newsom said the state would step up to provide a replacement incentive. It won't be quite as generous as the federal incentive and—as we learned today from a press release from the governor's office—it won't apply to all brands.
