The clean vehicle rebate project is funded by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Resources Board and administered statewide by the California Center for Sustainable Energy. A total of $26.1 million has been appropriated for FY 2009-2012 to promote the production and use of zero-emission vehicles, including electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and fuel cell vehicles.

Eligibility:
The vehicle must be new as defined in the California Vehicle Code (CVC) section 430 and must be:
• Manufactured by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or its authorized licensee.
• Vehicles considered new vehicles solely for determination of compliance with state emissions standards are not eligible.
