CVRP for Fleets is part of the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project and offers rebates for eligible zero-emission and plug-in hybrid light-duty vehicles for car sharing and rental fleets. Sponsored by the California Air Resources Board, the program is administered by the Center for Sustainable Energy.

Who is eligible for rebates?
Car sharing and rental fleets are eligible for up to 20 rebated vehicles per calendar year. Original lease terms must be for a minimum of 30 months, and the vehicle must remain in California and available for rent for a minimum of one year. Vehicles must also be on the CVRP list of eligible vehicles.
Are there any provisions around length of ownership?
Long-Term Ownership
Vehicles owned and operated 30 months or longer are eligible for up to $4,500 in rebates per vehicle.
Reduced Ownership Provision
Because car sharing and rental vehicles are typically circulated out of fleet operations in less than the 30-month ownership or lease period CVRP requires, a reduced ownership provision is available. Under this provision, car sharing and rental fleets are eligible for up to $1,800 in rebates per vehicle if they own and operate the vehicle for over one year and less than 30 months.
Vehicle Type | Standard Amount |
---|---|
Fuel cell electric | $4,500 |
Battery or range-extended electric vehicle | $2,000 |
Plug-in hybrid electric | $1,000 |
Zero-emission motorcycles | $750 |
Application Process
All fleets must submit a CVRP application for each vehicle acquired.
