The program is expected to distribute $250 million this year and more than $1 billion total through 2030.
California is opening applications for a new rebate program that will provide up to $1 billion over the next several years to help fleets purchase electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks.
The California Clean Fuel Reward program, funded through the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, will offer rebates ranging from $7,500 to $120,000 per vehicle. Applications become available June 26.
The program is expected to distribute $250 million this year and more than $1 billion total through 2030. It will be available statewide for public and private fleets buying electric drayage trucks, semis, box trucks, delivery vans and other commercial vehicles.
State officials said the rebates are intended to accelerate the shift away from diesel trucks, which are significant sources of air pollution near ports, freight corridors and warehouses.
The program builds on existing efforts such as the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project, which has already provided more than $1 billion and supported the deployment of over 11,600 clean vehicles across the state.
