CSE adds 8th state to EV rebate portfolio
U.S. sales of electric vehicles (EVs) are trending in a positive direction, yet new EVs remain out of reach for many low- and moderate-income (LMI) car buyers. That’s where state incentives play a critical role.
Let’s start with the good news.
With nearly 1 of every 5 new cars sold in California last year being an electric vehicle (EV), the EV market is moving beyond early adopters. But there is still a way to go before EVs are an affordable and convenient choice for all California drivers.
In 2023, the Center for Sustainable Energy became the administrator of Delaware’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program (DECVRP), which provides cash incentives for buying or leasing new light-duty electric vehicles.
Project Shows Promise of Big-Box Energy Efficiency
During an energy efficiency project deploying precommercial technologies at a 26-year-old Walmart Supercenter in Covina, California, electricity use was cut by more than 30%, demonstrating a cost-effective path for retrofitting other large retail stores to help meet state greenhouse gas reduction goals.
Policymakers face an uphill challenge in the vehicle electrification transition and generally lack comprehensive tools to guide and evaluate their decisions, especially in the long term.
Most new electric vehicles (EVs) receiving rebates through California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) replaced older, gasoline-fueled vehicles, and were not an additional household vehicle, according to consumer surveys. Replacement rates have increased over time, signifying a shift in consumers’ perception and use of EVs as the technology has advanced.
