HOW TO APPLY
Customers must apply and be approved for the SCE Pre-Owned EV Rebate before a claim can be submitted.
We strongly recommend you get pre-approved to reserve your rebate funds, even if you haven’t made a purchase or lease decision yet. The pre-approval step is required to submit a rebate claim. Pre-approvals are valid for 60 days.
If you purchased or leased an eligible EV in the past 180 days you may still qualify for a rebate. Apply as soon as possible to get the process started. If your application is approved, you can quickly submit a rebate claim and get reimbursed.
