California unveils a $1 billion rebate program for electric trucks
Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced that California has launched a $1 billion rebate program to boost the sales of electric medium‑ and heavy‑duty trucks, using money from the state’s low-carbon fuel standard program.
The rebates run $7,500 to $120,000 and can be applied toward the purchase of new electric medium‑ and heavy‑duty commercial vehicles, including drayage trucks, electric semis, box trucks, delivery vans and other fleet vehicles.
Some $250 million will be available this year, and more than $1 billion in total rebate funding is expected through 2030 through what’s called the California Clean Fuel Reward for electric medium‑ and heavy‑duty trucks.
The rebates will be available at authorized retailers for public and private fleets across the state, starting on June 26.
