Bay Area Grant Program Offers $9500 to Trade Your Gasoline Car for an EV

California program is a Cash for Internal-Combustion Clunkers deal for people in lower income brackets.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Clean Cars for All program is for customers in targeted ZIP codes who meet income requirements. The program offers $5500 to $9500 to spend on a new or used plug-in electric or hydrogen vehicle for those who turn in a 2005 or earlier car.
The program was started in 2019 and was popular, but it ran out of money. It was funded with an additional $8.3 million recently, so the incentive floodgates are back open.
Clean Cars for All is funded by California's cap-and-trade program, taking money from polluting industries and, in this case, giving it to lower-income residents.
