Available Funding
This table is automatically updated every hour.
Note: ZESBI, Public School Bus and ISEF set-asides have separate policies and Implementation Manuals from the other set-asides. See californiahvip.org/im
* Funds that are available or will be available are allocations from the California Air Resources Board’s Funding Plans for FY21-22, FY22-23, and FY23-24.
Stacking Funds
HVIP has specific requirements for combining or “stacking” funds with other public funding sources. Details are in the FY23-24 Implementation Manual, and highlights include:
- The Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust (VW) may be “stacked” with HVIP for fleets of any size for eligible vehicles in VW’s Zero-Emission Transit, School, and Shuttle Bus and Zero-Emission Class 8 Freight and Drayage Trucks categories.
- Fleets size 20 and smaller can stack HVIP with the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program and the CARB Truck Loan Assistance Program.
- Transit buses operated by or on behalf of a city or county government; a transportation district / transit district; or a public agency, including paratransit and microtransit services may stack State-funded incentives with HVIP regardless of fleet size.
- HVIP will only fund up to 90% of the cost of the vehicle for private entities or 100% for public entities, exclusive of taxes and fees. HVIP funds will be applied after the total funding from other source(s) have been applied to the base vehicle cost (excluding taxes and fees).
Fleet Size Policies
Base Voucher Amounts for Small Fleets: The +100% base adjustment for public and nonprofit fleets size 20 and smaller, and for private fleets size 20 and smaller with less than $15 million annual revenue, continues to be available in Standard HVIP, the Drayage Truck Set-Aside, and the Public Transit Set-Aside for any HVIP-eligible vehicles.
Starting 11/22/24, however, the doubling is only available for a maximum of 5 vouchers (all-time total, not annually). This limit is not retroactive, meaning that small fleets with existing doubled vouchers before 11/22/24 are permitted up to 5 additional doubled vouchers. Vouchers cannot be doubled in combination with the +65% voucher enhancement for school buses.
Fleet Size Exclusion: Private fleets size 50 and larger, based on the fleet size definition in the FY23-24 Implementation Manual, will be ineligible to request new voucher requests starting 1/1/25. This change does not affect existing vouchers requested before 1/1/25. Public entities, California Native American Tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status will not be subject to the fleet size limit. Additionally, fleets of any size can continue to purchase fuel cell vehicles through HVIP, and fuel cell vehicle purchasers are not subject to HVIP’s large fleet bulk purchase requirements or base voucher amount reductions based on fleet size.

Voucher Calculator
The HVIP Voucher Calculator was created with the intent to estimate a voucher amount in HVIP. Users are encouraged to test out the HVIP Voucher Calculator to get a better understanding of how modifiers and base adjustments can affect a voucher amount. Currently voucher amounts can be estimated for Standard HVIP, Innovative Small E-Fleet Set-Aside (ISEF), Public School Bus Set-Aside and the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach funding. Funding amount for Zero-Emission School Bus and Infrastructure (ZESBI) incentive project are not available on this calculator. Please visit the ZESBI page for more information. This calculator does not take into account if a funding category has funding available. Please check out our Available Funding section above for accurate funding availability.
This calculator follows the FY23-24 Implementation Manual policy rules and will only be applicable to voucher requests submitted on or after 11/17/2023. The ISEF calculations are based on policy changes from the FY23-24 ISEF Appendix F effective 6/3/24. This calculator does not guarantee a voucher amount or eligibility for voucher modifiers and base adjustments. Currently all voucher modifiers can be stacked together, however there are possibilities where modifiers cannot be stacked due to eligibility requirements. Please use this tool at your discretion.
Voucher amounts are confirmed in the Voucher Processing Center once eligibility information has been submitted and the voucher request has been approved. If you have questions about voucher amounts, base adjustments, or voucher modifier eligibility or requirements, please see the Implementation Manual.
