Porter, For The Chronicle ] PG&E customers can get a $10,000 discount on a new BMW i3 electric vehicle, for a limited time. BMW may be angling for a bigger slice of the nation’s largest electric vehicle market — California — and aiming at some of the same drivers courted by Tesla. The German automaker is offering a $10,000 discount on its i3 electric car for customers of Pacific Gas and Electric Co. through May 31. Buyers need only show their monthly PG&E bill to an authorized BMW dealer, and fill-out a one-page form, to qualify. BMW has already extended the $10,000 discount to customers of Southern California Edison, ending on April 30, and did the same for San Diego Gas and Electric Co. customers last year. In the Northeast, a smaller but growing EV market, BMW is running the $10,000 promotion with New Jersey utility PSE&G. The discount comes strictly from BMW — not from Pacific Gas and Electric Co. or its customers. The offer applies both to the all-electric i3 and the i3 REx, which has a small, range-extending gasoline engine. It does not apply to leases. The all-electric i3 starts at $44,450, so the discount places the car squarely in the price range of the $36,620 Chevrolet Bolt, the most popular electric car in California last year. It’s also in the same range as the $35,000 Tesla Model 3. The discount comes after the buyer and dealer have negotiated a price. California buyers also can receive a $2,500 electric-car rebate from the state and may be eligible for a federal tax credit worth up to $7,500. In addition, they can apply to PG&E for a one-time $500 rebate funded through California’s low carbon fuel standard.
