The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is set to add an additional category to its Hybrid Incentive Voucher Program (http://green.autoblog.com/2011/02/19/carb-second-year-grants-hybrid-trucks-buses/) (HVIP) that awards buyers of zero-emissions light-duty commercial vehicles, including the Ford Transit Connect Electric (http://green.autoblog.com/tag/transit+connect+electric/), a discount of up to $15,000 on their green vehicle purchase.
Starting in November, light-duty zero-emissions commercial vehicles with a GVWR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_vehicle_weight_rating) between 5,001 and 8,500 pounds will be eligible for vouchers of up to $15,000 in California. This discount will reportedly be available to all fleets, public or private, that register the zero-emissions vehicles in the state of California. This $15,000 discount, coupled with the federal government's $7,500 tax credit, means that some buyers of the Transit Connect Electric will get a whopping $22,500 off the vehicle's $57,400 price tag (http://green.autoblog.com/2011/10/12/fully-charged-drives-the-ford-transit-connect-electric/).
Vouchers for the light-duty zero-emissions category are valued at $15,000 for a fleet's first vehicle ordered, with $12,000 off all purchases thereafter for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011. Proposed vouchers for Fiscal Year 2012 dip to $12,000 for the first three vehicles, $10,000 for the next 27 purchased, $8,000 for vehicles 31-65 and $6,000 for vehicles 66-100.Ford Transit Connect Electric to qualify for $15,000 rebate in California (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/20/ford-transit-connect-electric-to-qualify-for-15-000-rebate-in-c/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:28:00 EST.
