What's New List Serve Post Display

The purpose of this list serve is to notify Clean Vehicle Rebate
Project stakeholders and potential rebate applicants that fiscal
year (FY) 2013-14 funds have been depleted and a waiting list has
been established.   

Due to the growing success of CVRP in bringing advanced clean
cars to California, rebate demand has exceeded available funding.
 CVRP saw a rapid rise in rebates between July and December of
2013 with December reaching a new record with over 3,700 rebates
reserved (approximately $7.6 million).  Several market factors
such as price reductions, attractive lease options, and the
introduction of new models caused a significant and greater than
anticipated increase in demand.  Because of this increased
activity, ARB is projecting a potential funding shortfall of up
to $30 million for FY 2013-14.  ARB is initially opening a
waiting list for up to $5 million in rebates, and will seek board
approval in April 2014 to expand the waiting list by an
additional $25 million.

Rebate applicants that are approved and placed on the waiting
list during FY 2013-14 will receive a rebate under current FY
2013-14 rebate amounts and eligibility criteria.  Rebate checks
will be issued once funds become available, anticipated in 
September 2014.
