Under the Clean Energy Cash Rebate Program, designed to promote the accelerated adoption of EVs or plug-in hybrids, each buyer is eligible to receive a cash rebate of up to $38,000 toward the purchase of a Tesla Roadster.

The handmade, carbon fiber Tesla Roadster has the ability to accelerate from 0-100km in less than four seconds and can travel over 394km on a single charge.

The car can be charged with solar, hydro or wind energy and consumes no petrol, thereby generating zero tailpipe emissions.

The fact that the Tesla Roadster has been approved for the cash rebate program aligns with Tesla’s goal of producing increasingly affordable electric cars for mainstream buyers by driving down the cost of EVs.
