“This new rebate program builds on California’s long record of incentivizing zero‑emission vehicle deployment and reaffirms our unwavering commitment to clean transportation,” said California Air Resources Board Chair Lauren Sanchez. “By returning revenue from the Low Carbon Fuel Standard directly to truck buyers at time of purchase, we’re making zero‑emission trucks the better choice for fleets and delivering cleaner air along freight corridors where it’s needed most.”

Beginning June 26, rebates will be available at authorized retailers for public and private fleets across the state. The rebates range from $7500 to $120,000 and can be applied toward the purchase of new electric medium‑ and heavy‑duty commercial vehicles, including drayage trucks, electric semis, box trucks, delivery vans, and other fleet vehicles. Public fleets will be eligible to purchase smaller Class 2b vehicles, such as pickup trucks used exclusively for business purposes.

“As the largest utility-led incentive program of its kind for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, the California Clean Fuel Reward represents a historic step forward in fleet electrification, said Southern California Edison Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer Funmi Williamson. “By lowering upfront costs, it helps accelerate access to innovative vehicle technologies and supports long-term market transformation.”
