Menlo Park Electric Vehicle Rebate and Electric Bike Voucher Program

The City of Menlo Park, in collaboration with Acterra, has launched the Electric vehicle (EV) rebate and electric bike (e-bike) voucher program to support eligible residents in accessing more affordable and sustainable transportation options. The program is intended to help reduce transportation costs, expand access to electric mobility options, and support local air quality and climate goals.

Through this program, residents can apply for one or both incentives - an EV rebate and/or an e-bike voucher. Each option has a different application process and distribution method.

Eligible residents may receive:

• $2,000 rebate toward the purchase of a new or used electric vehicle. This is a post-purchase rebate, and applications must be submitted within 30 days of purchase.
• $1,000 voucher toward the purchase of select e-bikes at participating bike retailers. Vouchers are issued in advance and applied at the point of sale, with the City reimbursing the shop directly.

These incentives can be combined with other local, state, and federal programs, including Clean Cars for All, Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE), and PG&E rebates.

Eligibility Requirements:

Applicants must be residents of Menlo Park and meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Participation in qualifying assistance programs such as CALWorks, SNAP, PG&E CARE, or the Menlo Park utility discount program
• Residence in a Menlo Park neighborhood with a CalEnviroScreen 4.0 score above 60, in areas disproportionately burdened by pollution, including Belle Haven, West Bayfront, and parts of Suburban Park.
• Age 65 years or older

How to Apply

Residents may apply online by first reviewing eligibility and submitting an application through the program website. Applications will be reviewed, and applicants will be notified of their status.

Funding is limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
