Dunno, sounds like you love the money more?

Just got the rebate (holding it my hot little hands) and it took 6 weeks for mine to go through -from applying 11/20/16 to 1/3/17. I think that's pretty good considering I hit the holiday season!

Has to be a bit of both no? I'm gonna be getting by eGolf soon and I must say I am already excited about the possibility of a rebate in the mail, but this wont detract from my excitement of getting the car

Just FYI, the program is taking its sweet time to disburse the rebate checks at the moment.

01/23/17 Electronic application filed
02/23/17 Application approved
05/08/17 Notified check has been mailed
05/11/17 Check in mailbox

HOV decals took less than 3 weeks.

Most likely because of the Income verification.

@daeofcal My timeline was similar to yours. I do not think income verification has anything to do with it since they would tell you if you were selected for income verification.

Someone just posted on ev-blogspot that they got theirs in under 3 weeks.

Congrats on both of you. I'm about 3 weeks since submission of the HOV stickers, and still have not yet received. A quick check of my bank account confirms they haven't cashed the $8 check yet so they might be backed up a bit.

since Ontario Canada and California have teamed up for the Carbon Market .. ? USA and Canada agreeing on taxes and fees ? I digress , Ontario BEVs and PIHEVs get free access to HOV lanes here , to encourage quicker adoption of EVs , and you do not have to have a passenger either .. but $8 / month ? is very reasonable or if annual ? why bother charging ;-) happy driving

The $8 is a one-time processing fee. It has since gone up to $22.

The only time you have to pay again is if you buy another eligible car, or have to replace the stickers on your current car (i.e. car accident requiring bumper repainting).
