URGENT - California Incentives Changing 12/2

If you recently bought a new EV, planning to buy an EV, or someone you know falls in that camp, here are some important changes to the California rebate program (CVRP).

Last day under the old rules to take EV delivery and apply for the rebate is December 2nd, 2019.
Rebated amount drops by $500 for each category. BEVs will be $2,000. PHEVs will be $1000. Rebates for low income applicants are unchanged.
If you recently purchased an EV, and have not applied yet for the California incentive, you will receive $500 less if you don't apply by 12/2.
A new higher minimum electric-only mile requirement caused several PHEVs to fall off eligibility list. PHEVs must meet the 35 Mile California All-Electric Range. This range is known as the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) or the EAER. It is more generous than the EPA electric range number. Below is the new list as we best understand it.
MSRP base price (i.e. the lowest trim version) of an EV model must be $60,000 or less. Example: The base price of the Tesla Model 3 is about $36,000, so all Tesla Model 3's are eligible. The base prices of the Tesla Model S and X are over $60,000, so all Tesla Model S and X vehicles are not eligible.
Rebate limits are reducing from 2 rebates to 1 rebate per individual (not per household)
