What it is
Electric For All is a free tool from Veloz (a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit) that helps you shop new electric vehicles (EVs) and see every rebate, tax credit, and utility perk you could stack — all filtered to your ZIP code. The campaign runs through 2026 with multilingual outreach in 15 languages. [Source: veloz.org/electric-for-all (accessed 2026-05-17)]
Go to electricforall.org/new-evs-and-incentives to use it.
Who it's for
- Anyone in the U.S. thinking about buying or leasing a new EV.
- Especially useful if you're low- or moderate-income — there's a built-in path to extra help (see below).
- Works for cities with 50,000+ residents and federally-designated Justice40 communities. [Source: veloz.org/electric-for-all (accessed 2026-05-17)]
What you get
- Browse 100+ new EV models — all-electric, plug-in hybrid, and fuel-cell.
- Filter by budget (under $20k up to $90k+), manufacturer, body type (sedan, SUV, truck, minivan, etc.), range, and number of seats.
- See real money — federal, state, and local rebates, tax credits, and utility incentives stacked together for your ZIP code.
- Find a dealer near you that sells the model you want.
- Check utility perks — many electric companies (like PG&E, SCE, SMUD in California) offer rebates or special EV charging rates.

How to use it (step by step)
- Enter your ZIP code at the top so prices and incentives match your area.
- Use the filters on the left (budget, manufacturer, vehicle type, range) to narrow the list.
- Click VIEW INCENTIVES on any car you like. You'll see a breakdown of every rebate and tax credit you may qualify for, plus utility programs.
- Click Find a Dealer to see local dealerships carrying that model.
Extra help if you're low- or moderate-income
If your income qualifies, Access Clean California (a state program partnered with Veloz) gives you free, one-on-one help applying for EV rebates and used-EV programs. Start at app.accesscleanca.org. [Source: electricforall.org/new-evs-and-incentives (accessed 2026-05-17)]
This is the same Access Clean California program tied to California Clean Vehicle Assistance and Clean Cars 4 All — see the related resources in this database.
Common pitfalls
- Incentives change fast. A rebate showing today might be paused next month if program funding runs out. Always confirm on the rebate program's own site before you sign.
- Federal EV tax credit rules depend on the vehicle's battery sourcing and your income — the tool flags eligibility, but the IRS makes the final call.
- Lease vs. buy matters. Some federal credits flow to the leasing company, not you — ask the dealer how the credit shows up in your monthly payment.
- Used EVs are a separate tool. For used cars use electricforall.org/used-evs-and-incentives.
