SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) today announced that PG&E customers can save $3,000 on the purchase of a new 2018 Nissan LEAF electric vehicle (EV). This offer adds to existing state and federal discounts available to customers in California to help support the state's clean transportation goal of having five million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2030.

At any authorized Nissan dealership, interested customers can show a recent copy of their PG&E bill, a valid photo ID and the flyer with the Fleet Certification Code found here. Family members are also eligible if they prove with a driver's license that they reside at the same address as the customer on the PG&E bill. The discount is taken off the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the purchase or finance of a 2018 Nissan LEAF EV and is available through July 2, 2018.

"Electric vehicles are a critical part of creating cleaner air and meeting California's climate goals. Making it easier for customers to adopt EVs helps drivers reduce their environmental impact while supporting our clean energy future – a win for both our customers and the state," said Steve Malnight, PG&E Corporation's senior vice president of Strategy and Policy.
