PG&E Customers Eligible to Save $10,000 on a New BMW i3 Electric Vehicle
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) today announced that PG&E
customers can save $10,000 on the purchase of a new 2017 or 2018 BMW
i3 or i3s electric vehicle (EV) including both all-electric (BEV) as
well as range extender (REx) models. This offer adds to existing state
and federal discounts available to customers in California to help
support the state’s ambitious clean transportation goal of having five
million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2030.
At any authorized BMW dealership, interested customers can show a recent
copy of their PG&E bill and the filled out BMW customer information form
found here.
Family members are also eligible if they prove with a driver’s license
that they reside at the same address as the customer on the PG&E bill.
The discount is taken off the best-negotiated price for the purchase or
finance of a BMW i3 or i3s EV and is available through May 31, 2018.
Additionally, BMW i3 customers are eligible to enroll in BMW’s ChargeNow
program that offers 24 months of free charging at participating EVgo
charging stations.
“Today, 40 percent of greenhouse-gas emissions in the state come from
transportation. Electric vehicles are a critical part of reducing
emissions, creating cleaner air and meeting ambitious climate goals in
California. Making it easier for customers to adopt EVs can help drivers
reduce their environmental impact while supporting the state’s clean
energy future,” said PG&E Corporation’s Senior Vice President of
Strategy and Policy Steve Malnight.

and flyer.
Customers can contact authorized BMW dealerships with additional
questions.
Existing discounts for EVs
In addition to the discount offered by BMW, other available incentives
could further reduce the cost of an EV by approximately 40 percent. PG&E
recommends customers research other discounts and incentives, including:
-
Federal Tax Credit: Customers could be eligible for up to $7,500 in federal
tax credits. PG&E recommends customers review details closely and
consult a tax accountant or Certified Public Accountant for specific
information. -
California State Rebate: Customers could be eligible for an additional
$2,500 off the BMW i3 through the California
state rebate administered by the California Air Resources Board. -
PG&E’s Clean Fuel Rebate: PG&E residential, electric customers who are
EV drivers can apply for the company’s one-time $500 Clean
Fuel Rebate. The rebate is part of California’s statewide Low
Carbon Fuel Standard initiative, which aims to reduce
transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the
adoption of clean fuels like electricity. -
PG&E customers living in certain areas such as San Joaquin Valley
could be eligible for additional EV discounts.
PG&E Ongoing Support for EVs in California
Recently, PG&E launched its EV
Charge Network program to help accelerate the adoption of EVs in
California by increasing access to charging. Partnering with business
customers and EV charging companies, PG&E will install 7,500 EV chargers
at condominiums, apartment buildings and workplaces across Northern and
Central California, including at sites in disadvantaged communities.
Committed to increasing adoption of clean vehicles in the state, PG&E
continues its efforts to make it easier for customers to make the switch
to EVs. Online
resources help customers driving EVs learn more and determine which
rate plan makes sense for them. On PG&E's residential
EV rate plans, customers pay the equivalent of $1.20 per gallon to
charge their vehicle overnight.
