A neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) is a battery-powered electric vehicle with a maximum speed of 25 mph, a weight of less than 3,000 lbs., that meets Federal Motor Safety Standards to be registered and operated on public streets or roads. NEVs must have a vehicle identification number (VIN) and require a CA driver’s license, registration, and insurance to operate. They may only be operated on roadways with a speed limit of 35 mph or below or on designated NEV paths.

- Subsidy application must be received before March 29, 2025, or within two years of closing escrow on your new Valencia home, whichever is later. Only NEVs that were purchased starting from the date of closing escrow on your new Valencia home are eligible.
