California Air Resource Board Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP)
The Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) is funded by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and administered statewide by the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE). A total of $11.1 million has been appropriated for Fiscal Years 2009-2011 to promote the production and use of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV), including electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and fuel cell vehicles. Rebates of up to $5,000 per light-duty vehicle are available for individuals and business owners who purchase or lease new eligible zero-emission or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Rebates are available on a first come first serve basis. For more information on the rebates check out the ARB website. There is currently $8.64 million available for rebates from the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project.
Hybrid Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program (HVIP)
The California Air Resources Board created HVIP in 2011 to introduce low emission hybrid trucks and buses into the vehicle market. This program launched on February 15, 2011 with the goal to reduce half the incremental costs in the purchase of hybrid heavy-duty trucks and buses that operate in the state of California. In the utilization and implementation of hybrid heavy-duty buses and trucks, greenhouse gas emissions and fuel usage decrease between 20 and 50 percent.
