Are there recent policy changes?

On November 16, 2023, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives. For an overview of these policy changes view the webpage on HVIP FY23-24 Funding and Policy Changes.

How does this program provide benefits to priority populations?

HVIP helps transition California truck fleets to cleaner technologies, which helps reduce trucking-related emissions in and around priority communities. It also provides increased voucher amounts for participants whose vehicle is domiciled in a disadvantaged community.

How do I access funds?

Apply on a first-come, first-served basis. At participating dealerships and manufacturers--incentives are applied at point-of-sale for the purchase of eligible vehicles. More information can be found at californiahvip.org.
