Our 10th Annual EV Raffle
We’re excited to announce that we just launched our 10th Annual EV Raffle! Each year for the last decade, we’ve raffled off an electric vehicle while raising funds for our work. To celebrate this exciting milestone, we decided to add a second raffle — so now there are two chances to win your dream EV!

Two Ticket Options, Five Chances to Win

• Luxury Raffle:The Grand Prize Winner for our luxury raffle can choose a fully-customized EV from any manufacturer, up to $120,000, with all taxes paid by us!
  • New this year - winner can choose TWO EVs adding up to $120K combined, taxes paid.
  • Plus we have cash prizes for 2nd ($12,500) and 3rd Place ($7,500), just in case you aren’t the lucky Grand Prize Winner.
  • Any tickets purchased before October 31 will also be entered into our bonus Early Bird Drawing for $10,000.
  • Tickets are $250 and 5,000 will be sold
• Mini Raffle (New this year):We know not everyone is interested in a top-of-the-line luxury electric vehicle, so we added a second, more affordable ticket option. The winner of this raffle can choose a fully-customized EV from any manufacturer, up to $45,000, with all taxes paid by us!
  • Tickets are $100 and 3,500 will be sold

Early Bird Drawing
Every ticket purchased in our Luxury Raffle by 11:59 PM on October 30th will be automatically entered into a second drawing for $10,000 on October 31st! All tickets will still be entered into our Luxury Drawing on December 12, 2025. If you’re planning to participate in our raffle, don’t miss out on this second chance to win!

Fair and Transparent Process
We work hard to ensure that our raffle is conducted fairly, which is why we hire independent auditors to oversee our drawing process. We also livestream the entire drawing, from loading tickets into the raffle drum and choosing our selection of Grand Prize, Second Prize, Third Prize, and Mini Prize winners, so you can feel comfortable with participating in our raffle. The drawing will be held on December 12, 2025.

I have a question-

If one wins, but the vehicle they wish to take is over the $120k threshold - can the winner pay the difference and/or trade in their current vehicle to get the paid value below the prize limit?

 

[CXC_Raffle]

Yes. It has happened on a minor scale before - a few years back a winner paid about $2500 to get his preferred configuration, in part because we pay up to the equivalent of MA sales tax (6.25%) on the vehicles but he was in an area that had an unusually high local vehicle tax.

From Raffle Details on the carbonraffle.org home page:

“Cash In”​

Cash In: The Grand Prize or Mini Raffle Prize Winner has the option to add their own money to the Prize, so that they can take delivery of a more expensively-configured vehicle than the Prize itself would otherwise permit. Climate XChange shall not be responsible for paying any vehicle manufacturer or dealer an amount over $120,000 for the Grand Prize vehicle itself, plus up to $7,800 in state/local sales taxes and registration fees. For the Mini Raffle, Climate XChange shall not be responsible for paying any vehicle manufacturer or dealer an amount over $45,000 for the Grand Prize vehicle itself.​

Thank You ! I did skim thru but when I saw Cash In, I guess I assumed it was taking cash instead of prize and didn't read that section. I should have known when the cash prize was also documented. Sorry for bugging!

Didn't see anything necessarily saying no, but I assume the raffle isn't open to Canadians? BC specifically.

Didn't see anything necessarily saying no, but I assume the raffle isn't open to Canadians? BC specifically.

Unfortunately no. It's hard enough keeping up with state regulations - every year it seems another state decides to put some controls on online raffles. Fortunately with states, our response is that if you live in a state that restricts online raffles, just buy your tickets when you happen to be out of state. Adding countries would bring another level of complexity we aren't equipped to handle, sorry.

That said, it's also not available in Washington State, so you can't even do that.

No worries. I think you actually helped me find a typo in that section. When we added the Mini prize, it should state that it includes the state and local taxes like the Luxury prize. I'll get that fixed.

That said, it's also not available in Washington State, so you can't even do that.

But if you live in Washington State, you could buy your tickets while visiting BC...

No worries. Having worked in the states for a few years previously, I know how painful cross border logistics can be.

Guess I'll have to limp along with one rivian for now and not two.

Or Oregon.
