SDG&E EV Climate Credit

[Randy]

The 2017 value of the EV Climate Credit is going to be $200, based on the value of the LCFS credits sold and the nearly 7,000 drivers who signed up this year. The EVCC will be done every year through 2020.

Drivers who signed up will start to see bill credits for the EV Climate Credit starting soon...

Thanks, Randy! I heard that amount on the news the other day and I thought they got it wrong - a lot more than I was expecting. (And happy that we get two of them!)

I received this email from SDGE today: "Great news! Your application has been accepted and you are eligible to receive a bill credit. A credit will appear on your bill within the next 2 months (depending on your bill cycle)".

A quick update...hope everyone is enjoying the $200 EV credit this summer and it has been a warm and humid summer here in San Diego and southern CA.

Had an online chat with SDGE representative yesterday that the EV credit can be carried forward to next year.

So it is possible to off set the minimal charge.

The $200 is an account credit, so it never expires. I'm on NEM and I just settled up for the year. So I moved the EV credit from my SDG&E electric account to my SDG&E gas account. With that credit, I likely won't have a gas bill now until Jan or Feb 2018.

I haven't found any updates regarding the 2018 SDG&E EV Climate Credit. I suspect it will be far more popular this year because the word is getting around about the program.

Do we have to reapply each year, or is it automatic ? Does anyone know?

You'll have to reapply each year. It is based on EV ownership as of May.

Signups for this year should begin around March 1. The amount of the EV climate credit each driver will get will be recalculated, and depends on the value of the LCFS credits sold, and how many drivers sign up for the EV climate credit for this year.

Makes sense since they would have no way on knowing whether my car ownership continued to the new year.
