http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/sd-fi-rebates-changed-20161025-story.html In recent efforts to try and boost sales on clean air vehicles, California is again tweaking its rebate program when you purchase a clean air car. Soon the new rules will be that high-income earners will be excluded from getting the rebates while prospective buyers from lower-income households will get more money under the state’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project. The changes are designed to push for eventually everyone to be able to afford a clean air vehicle. People with household incomes less than or equal to 300 percent of the federal poverty level will receive $4,500 for buying or leasing battery-electric vehicles, $3,500 for plug-in hybrids and $7,000 for fuel cell vehicles. With the states eye on reducing air pollution this change is hopeful to make progress. Also, in the Central Valley and the Los Angeles region, a “scrap and replace” program offers up to $9,500 in vouchers to low-income owners to trade in their emission-spewing clunkers for clean vehicles. We want to to vastly increase the number of zero-emission vehicles on the state’s highways in the coming years, and this change may be the answer.
