Electrify Your Fleet

Overview

The Electrify Your Fleet program provides Central Coast Community Energy Member Agencies with direct rebates for the completed purchases/leases for eligible light duty, medium duty, and heavy-duty battery electric vehicles.

Member Agencies are the cities and counties that have joined the Central Coast Community Energy Joint Powers Authority and have been approved by the Policy Board of Directors.  

Rebates will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
