DWP to offer E-car rebates

Tired of paying $4 and up for a gallon of gasoline? Daily News.

Well, the Department of Water and Power has a deal for you if you're willing to buy an electric car.

Starting May 1, the DWP will offer rebates of up to $2,000 for the cost of installing an electric charger for buyers of electric vehicles.

"Charge Up L.A." will provide rebates to the first 1,000 DWP customers who apply for the break and agree to install a rapid charger for qualifying electric vehicles. The goal is to eventually provide rebates to as many as 5,000 customers, said Ron Nichols, the DWP's general manager.
