Driving Clean Assistance Program

California Financial Assistance Program to Make Electric Vehicle Ownership Affordable

Due to an extraordinary response and high demand, DCAP’s Financing Assistance pathway is closed and is not accepting new applications. DCAP’s Scrap and Replace option, Clean Cars 4 All, is still open and accepting applications from all tiers. Visit the Eligibility Page and FAQ for additional details.

 

Additional Funding Options:

Funding is still available through South Coast AQMD’s Replace Your Ride program. Eligible residents within its jurisdiction, including communities across Los Angeles and Orange counties, may receive up to $12,000 to replace an older, high-polluting vehicle with a cleaner transportation option.

Protection Options:

Major Mechanical Protection. Protect your vehicle well beyond the manufacturer’s warranty. Major Mechanical Protection covers repair costs when your ride breaks down and provides a variety of additional benefits at no cost such as 24-hour Roadside Assistance, Rental Vehicle Assistance, Tire Protection, and more. 

Peace of Mind Protection. You can’t control everything in life – but you can help protect your finances with Peace of Mind Protection. Cancel your loan balance or payments in the event of involuntary unemployment, disability, or death. Coverage is customizable and voluntary, and it’s simple to apply.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) with PowerBuy. If your vehicle is stolen or totaled in an accident, your insurance will pay only the fair market value, often substantially less than what you still owe on the loan. GAP insurance protects you against costly out-of-pocket expenses by paying what your insurance won’t.
