Phase 2 Ventura County APCD
Electric Vehicle Rebate Program at $226,946 (Revisit
Recommendations from March 2nd Meeting)
1. Funding Goal of Battery EVs vs
Plug-in Hybrids at least 60/40 in favor of Battery EVs
(Mr Reach would like to revisit this goal to increase
number of Battery EV rebates by a 60/40 goal in terms of
units instead of funding amounts).
2. Funding Rebates for
Vehicles Base MSRP capped at $75,000 (Mr. Reach would
like to revisit this recommendation with a higher cap or
no cap).
3. Rebate Reservation
Expiration at 60 days from Issue Date (Staff
Recommendation):
Since staff does not have the
resources to track this program in real time or on the
weekends, a rebate reservation system with a reasonable
expiration period of 60 days is recommended to ensure
that rebates will still be available to program
participants when they purchase their vehicles.
Reservation expirations are necessary to ensure
that the program grant funds will not be in limbo
indefinitely. A notable example of
this issue was a Clean Air Fund grant issued to the fire
department back in 2002 for retrofitting a training
facility that was never built, and this tied up $150,000
in grant funds until April 12, 2016 because there was no
expiration date assigned to this grant.
