Yes, in many cases you can apply for multiple rebates. For example, if you purchase or lease a new EV, you may be eligible for the California Clean Fuel Reward (point-of-sale rebate) and the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP).

In some cases, rebates and incentives from other parties may have limitations. For example, there are income limits if you wish to claim both the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) and the HOV lane usage decal, so be sure to review each rebate application carefully.
