Event Details

The California Air Resources Board (CARB or the Board) is pleased to announce a grant solicitation of $205.5 million for an administrator to implement the Statewide Clean Cars 4 All and Financing Assistance projects for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23. An additional $10 million may be available to support the implementation of the Zero-Emission Assistance Program (ZAP) to ensure proper consumer protection for program participants that obtain an electric vehicle. These are the two major vehicle purchase incentive projects funded by CARB that, together with committed partners, are employing innovative solutions to bring the benefits of clean transportation to lower-income and disadvantaged communities that are most impacted by pollution. The solicitation includes the option at CARB’s discretion for new Grant Agreements for each of the following two fiscal years: FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25.

The goal of these projects is to provide cash incentives (as purchase price buydown), facilitate access to affordable financing options, and provide Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) home installation or charge card incentives for lower-income consumers throughout California to purchase or lease these vehicles by providing low-cost loans and vehicle price buy-down grants.
