Supporting Electric HDVs through Grants, Taxes, and Rebates

MCLI Recommendation: “A federal tax credit comparable to the American recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 credit for light-duty vehicles should be established for hybrid, electric, or fuel cell HDVs above 8,500 pounds GVWR.”

LPDD Recommendation: “California could expand its Clean Vehicle Rebate Program and Public Fleet Pilot Project to include hybrid, electric and fuel cell HDVs. Other States could follow suit with similar programs.”

LPDD Recommendation: “Congress should expand and guarantee funding for EPA’s National Clean Diesel Grants Program.”
