Summary
Existing law establishes the Air Quality Improvement Program, administered by the State Air Resources Board, to fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, air quality improvement projects related to fuel and vehicle technologies, including incentives for various types of vehicles. This bill would require incentives for qualifying zero-emission, battery-electric passenger vehicles under the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project of the Air Quality Improvement Program to be limited to vehicles in that category with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $40,000 or less. The bill would require the rebate for qualifying zero-emission, battery-electric passenger vehicles to be $3,500, subject to availability of funds.
