I bought my Clarity the day after Christmas 2018 and that week I processed the online forms for the CA rebate. It said it would take about 90 days and almost exactly 90 days later I saw an email telling me I was approved. I thought, great, someone has clicked a box and the check is on its way. Not so fast. That email told me the check would take up to another 90 days to be issued. Luckily that wasn't the case, today, a month later, I received a second email telling me the check is being mailed...so I'm not celebrating quite yet.
NJ, like many states, does not offer any car rebates. Please tell us what the current incentive you are expecting from CA.
In CA the state rebate on a full electric car is $2500. We also get a $1000 rebate from California Edison (the electric company)
If the OP bought it in 2018, SCE gives out $450. I intentionally had my purchase date on 1/1/19 which SCE gives out $1000.
