Question 1

How much can I actually claim?

Accepted Answer

It ranges from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on your electric vehicle (EV), your income, your ZIP, and which programs combine. There's no single number, because no two people qualify for the same set. The only way to know your real figure is to check every active program against your exact situation, which is what a scan is for.

Question 2

I haven't bought my EV yet. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

That's often the best time. Some of the biggest rebates only pay if you do things in the right order: get approved before you sign, buy from a participating dealer, or retire an old car a specific way. Miss the order and the money's gone. Roxy shows you exactly what to line up before you buy.

Question 3

What's the MyFirstEV rebate?

Accepted Answer

A California point-of-sale incentive for first-time EV buyers: up to $3,500 off a new zero-emission vehicle or $1,750 off a used one, applied right at the dealer. No income limit. It only covers fully-electric cars from participating brands, and each automaker launches on its own timeline, so availability varies. Check the CARB MyFirstEV page for the latest on which brands are live.

Question 4

Did the federal EV tax credit go away?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The federal tax credits for new and used EVs ended for vehicles bought after September 30, 2025. But state, utility, and local rebates didn't go away, and they can still add up to thousands. There's even some federal help left for home-charger installs and certain low-income programs, run through state and utility administrators. What you can claim now depends entirely on where you live, and that's the part Roxy maps for you.

Question 5

Do EV rebates have income limits?

Accepted Answer

Many do, and they vary a lot. Some programs are open to everyone, some cap eligibility at a household income level, and a number of the most generous ones are built specifically for lower-income households. Your income, household size, and sometimes your enrollment in other assistance programs all factor in. Roxy checks your profile against each program's limits, so you're not guessing.

Question 6

Can I claim more than one rebate on the same car?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, and this is where the real money is. Stacking, claiming more than one rebate on the same vehicle, is how totals climb into the thousands. But some programs are mutually exclusive, so claiming one disqualifies you from another, and many cap how many rebates a single car can ever receive, so a rebate a previous owner claimed can eat into what's left for you. Sorting out what actually stacks is the core of what TurboEV does.

Question 7

Can I still claim a rebate if I already bought my EV?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this is one of the most important things to know. Most rebates are claimed after purchase: you buy the car, register it, then apply. Each program has a deadline tied to your purchase or registration date, and some funding runs out fast. If you bought recently, check quickly rather than assuming you missed your window.

Question 8

What does TurboEV actually do?

Accepted Answer

You put in your vehicle, your ZIP, and your situation. Roxy maps every program that matches your profile in California: state programs, utility rebates, air district grants, and city incentives. California is where we operate today, and more states are coming. She calculates your estimated total, flags the conditions that could affect each one, and hands you a step-by-step guide to claiming each program. That's TurboEV. It takes minutes. Most people spend weeks getting to the same place.

Question 9

Who is Roxy?

Accepted Answer

Roxy is the guide at the center of TurboEV. She is obsessive about rebates. She runs on a proprietary eligibility engine that checks your profile against every active program in her database: state programs, utility rebates, air district grants, city incentives, and cross-checks for stacking rules, income limits, and deadlines. She maps what you actually qualify for.

Question 10

How is this different from searching online myself?

Accepted Answer

Searching online tells you rebates exist. Roxy tells you which ones are yours, based on your actual vehicle, your ZIP, your household income, and your purchase history. The difference is specificity. Most people who search on their own end up with a list of programs they may or may not qualify for. Roxy starts with your profile and works backward.

Question 11

How much does TurboEV cost?

Accepted Answer

One flat fee of $89. During our Founding Beta, the full service is free. After the beta, it's $89. No subscription, no upsells, no tier where the real results are hiding. If Roxy finds nothing, you pay nothing. The payment page only appears when she finds something. See our Refund Policy for what's covered.

Question 12

What exactly do I get when I pay?

Accepted Answer

Your complete eligibility package: every program that matches your profile, the estimated amount for each one, step-by-step claim instructions for each program, deadlines ranked by priority, and flags for any conditions that could affect your application. Everything you need to file, laid out and ready to go. Your Rebate Hub stays open for 72 hours, giving you a point-in-time snapshot of your eligibility before program rules or funding can change. You can export a PDF copy to keep forever before it closes. The only step left is yours: submitting each application.

Question 13

Do you submit the applications for me?

Accepted Answer

No. TurboEV prepares everything: the checklist, the instructions, the links, the deadlines. You submit the applications yourself. This keeps you in control of what goes out under your name, and it's how the process is meant to work. We're the prep team. You're the one on the field.

Question 14

Do you guarantee I'll receive a rebate?

Accepted Answer

Not the rebate itself, no. That decision belongs to the program administrators, along with whether funding still remains when you apply. Here is what we do guarantee: if Roxy finds nothing for you, you pay nothing. And if the only thing she turns up is one small rebate, we hand it to you free, because charging $89 to unlock a single low-value program would not be right. She checks your exact profile against every active program in California so nothing goes unchecked, and our job is pointing you to the right programs, with the right paperwork, before the deadline closes.

Question 15

What states does TurboEV cover?

Accepted Answer

Our eligibility engine is built for all 50 states: state programs, utility rebates, and local incentives, with the same scan logic everywhere. We're launching in California first, where the rebate system is the most complex and the unclaimed dollars are the largest. Not in California? Run your ZIP anyway and Roxy will put you on the waitlist, and you'll be first to know when your state goes live.

Question 16

Is my personal information safe?

Accepted Answer

We collect the minimum needed to run your eligibility scan: your ZIP, vehicle details, and household income range. We handle it per our Privacy Policy. We don't sell it or share it with dealers, agencies, or advertisers. Stripe processes payments, so we never see your card.

Question 17

I already ran a scan. What if programs have changed since then?

Accepted Answer

Programs change constantly. Funding runs out, rules update, new programs launch. That's why we track these programs continuously, so the amounts, rules, and deadlines in your Rebate Hub are the ones in force right now, laid out in deadline order. If you want to rerun your full scan at any point, reach out to support@turboev.ai and we'll take care of it.

Good questions. Real answers.
