Light Duty Electric Vehicle (EV) Program (Coming Soon!)
In fiscal year ending 2016, over $13 million is available for all EV-related programs. Funding is offered on a first-come, first-served basis until all funds have been spent.
Grant funding is available for Light-Duty Zero- and Partial-Zero-Emissions Vehicles in fleets. The following is a list of key project eligibility requirements:
- Vehicles must be new (2015 model year or newer) and have a GVWR of 14,000 lbs. or lighter;
- Eligible vehicle types include plug-in hybrid-electric, plug-in electric, and fuel cell vehicles certified by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) as meeting super-ultra low emission vehicle (SULEV) or zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) standard; and
- Each project (fleet deployment) must consist of the purchase or lease of three or more vehicles registered to a single owner.
The funding amounts for each vehicle type were determined using the most recent ARB calculation methodology for cost-effectiveness and emissions reductions.
