California is eliminating its long-standing electric vehicle rebate program and revamping the initiative to focus on supporting low-income car buyers.
The state’s Clean Cars 4 All program will be expanded starting next year. It gives those who meet the income requirements up to $12,000 to replace their older gas-powered car with a greener option. People who don't turn in an older car could get up to $7,500 in purchase grants.
Since the program was established in 2009, half a million rebates have been issued, totaling $1.2 billion with the average rebate being around $2,500. CARB said applications for the rebates have increased in recent months, hitting a new record of 14,000 applications in July. In California, an incentive to buy or lease a new electric car is access as a single-occupant vehicle to the HOV lanes. Stevenson pointed to the lack of HOV lanes in Delaware as a reason the program would do poorly in the state, along with those who rent their home having less access to at-home charging stations.
