If you live in the Greater Sacramento area and have been eyeing the transition to an electric vehicle (EV), you’ve likely weighed the incredible fuel savings against upfront vehicle costs. For a long time, the initial sticker price of a brand-new electric car felt like a hurdle. But right here in Northern California, the stars have aligned in 2026. Thanks to groundbreaking state initiatives, aggressive manufacturer incentives, and Roseville Kia’s commitment to our community, driving home in a brand-new, zero-emission Kia has never been more affordable. For those waiting for the right moment to make the switch to electric driving in the Greater Sacramento area, August 2026 is the golden window. With time-sensitive manufacturer incentives expiring on August 31, 2026, combined with groundbreaking California state programs, local drivers are unlocking unprecedented discounts on brand-new Kia electric vehicles right here in the Sacramento Valley.

In fact, eligible first-time EV buyers can stack multiple rebates and offers to save over $14,000 on a new Kia EV. At Roseville Kia, we live by our core tagline: "We'll help you PAY LESS, so you can SAY YES!" In this guide, we are breaking down the exact math, the programs involved, and how you can claim your maximum savings today.

1. Introducing MyFirstEV: The Game-Changing $3,500 State & OEM Match

California is leading the nation in clean transportation, and the state’s latest initiative is designed specifically to make zero-emission vehicles accessible to everyday drivers. The MyFirstEV program, administered through the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as part of California Climate Investments, is a $135.5 million push to accelerate ZEV adoption.

Here is how it works for first-time EV buyers:

For New EVs: Qualified first-time buyers receive a $3,500 point-of-sale incentive. This is split evenly: $1,750 funded by the State of California and a matching $1,750 contributed directly by participating original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Kia.
For Pre-Owned Certified EVs: If you're shopping our budget-friendly pre-owned inventory, first-time buyers can receive a $1,750 point-of-sale incentive ($875 from the state and $875 matched by Kia).
Instant Application: Unlike old rebate programs where you waited months for a check in the mail, MyFirstEV applies directly at the point of sale, instantly reducing your vehicle's sticker price with minimal paperwork.

To qualify for new vehicles under MyFirstEV, the vehicle must be model year 2026 or newer with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) cap of $50,000, keeping mainstream, family-friendly vehicles front and center.

The 2026 Kia Niro EV Wind qualifies for incredible stackable savings at Roseville Kia.

2. Stacking Kia Customer Cash: Up to $10,000 in Direct Rebates

State incentives are fantastic, but Kia takes affordability a massive step further. Right now at Roseville Kia, select new electric models feature substantial direct manufacturer customer cash offers.

For instance, looking at our current inventory of the 2026 Kia Niro EV Wind, factory-backed Kia offers can knock up to $10,000 straight off the window sticker. When you combine a $10,000 dealer and manufacturer discount with point-of-sale programs like MyFirstEV, the upfront price drops dramatically before you even talk about financing.

Families throughout Roseville, Rocklin, Citrus Heights, and Greater Sacramento are discovering that electric mobility is no longer a luxury, it's a smart, budget-conscious financial decision.

3. Conditional Finance Offers and the $14,000 Savings Threshold

Want to maximize your savings to the absolute limit? When you factor in conditional finance offers available through our lending partners, total potential savings on select new 2026 models can surge past $14,000.

Let's look at a concrete real-world example from our showroom floor:

2026 Kia Niro EV Wind (Stock / VIN options available):
- Original MSRP / Total Price: ~$41,395 to $41,480
- Kia Manufacturer Offers: Up to $10,000 off
- Discounted Advertised Price: ~$31,480
- Conditional Finance Offers: Up to $14,000 in combined potential savings when stacking factory incentives and special financing structures.

Transitioning to electric driving with family-friendly SUVs like the Niro EV and EV6 is easier than ever.

4. Don't Forget Pre-Owned: Certified Pre-Owned Options Under $25K

Not everyone is looking for a brand-new car, and MyFirstEV has you covered if you prefer pre-owned. For shoppers seeking high-quality used electric vehicles, qualifying CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) models priced under $25,000 are eligible for the $1,750 MyFirstEV incentive.

Every Certified Pre-Owned Kia at our dealership undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection and comes backed by incredible manufacturer-backed protections. Exploring our Certified Pre-Owned Inventory is a fantastic way for first-time used EV buyers to stretch every dollar even further.
