The California Air Resources Board has announced a new rebate program to encourage zero-emission vehicle deployment as the federal government rolls back its support.
Retailer enrollment is now open for the California Clean Fuel Reward for electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Funded with revenue utilities generate from the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard, the program will make $250 million in rebate funding available this year, and is expected to provide some $1 billion through 2030.
Beginning June 26, rebates will be available at authorized retailers for public and private fleets across the state. The rebates range from $7,500 to $120,000, and can be applied toward the purchase or lease of new electric medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, including drayage trucks, electric semis, box trucks, delivery vans and other fleet vehicles. Public fleets will be eligible to purchase smaller Class 2b vehicles such as pickup trucks, if they are used exclusively for business purposes.
Other California incentive programs include the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project, which has delivered over a billion bucks to California fleets to fund electric trucks and buses.
In 2024, zero-emission vehicles made up nearly 23% of new medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales in California.
“This new rebate program builds on California’s long record of incentivizing zero-emission vehicle deployment and reaffirms our commitment to clean transportation,” said CARB Chair Lauren Sanchez. “By returning revenue from the Low Carbon Fuel Standard directly to truck buyers at time of purchase, we’re making zero-emission trucks the better choice for fleets and delivering cleaner air along freight corridors where it’s needed most.”
