Monthly Feature Charge Up! Incentive Program Colette Kincaid, SJVAPD, presented the Valley Air Pollution District’s newest EV incentive programs. CK started the presentation off by listing what the duties of the APCD and how they are implemented. She then continued on to cover the six EV programs and trainings that they have going on at this time. Some of the programs are for businesses and residents while others are for municipalities. The first program was the Charge Up! Program. This program provides incentives for municipalities to install EV chargers that they and the public are able access. There are two levels of incentives. The first being $5,000 for a single port charger and the second is $6,000 for a dual port charger. These incentives are capped at a maximum of $50,000 per applicant. Also, the funds given can go towards the charger, instillation costs and necessary signage. She also covered the requirements for the program as well as having the option of installing a level 3 charger. CK continued and covered the CalCAP EVCS Financing Program that finances EV chargers for small local businesses with 1,000 or less employees. After that she went on to cover the Drive Clean! Rebate Program which provides residents and businesses with a $3,000 rebate for the purchase or lease of a new clean air vehicle. She continued covering the Grants and incentives for EV’s, hybrids, CNG, LNG and LPG vehicles. She quickly went over each one, since much of the focus hinged on the Charge Up! Program for the municipalities.
