Small Business Vouchers
Fleets meeting the small business definition are eligible for enhanced voucher amounts that provide additional support for transitioning to zero-emission vehicles.
Who Qualifies?
Public and nonprofit fleets with 20 or fewer vehicles domiciled anywhere globally that are over 8,500 lbs. GVWR, or private fleets with both:
-
- Twenty or fewer vehicles domiciled anywhere globally that are over 8,500 lbs. GVWR (including non-operational vehicles); and
- $15 million or less in annual revenue.
Small Business Voucher Details
-
- The small business voucher amount is only available on a maximum of five vouchers (all-time total, not annually).
- Fleet size is inclusive of existing unredeemed HVIP vouchers. For example, if a purchaser with a fleet size of 17 requests five vouchers, they are eligible for three small business vouchers, and the remaining two would be base vouchers.
Stacking Incentives
Total Public Funding Limits
HVIP vouchers can be “stacked” with other eligible public incentives to reduce your total vehicle cost. When combining funding sources, HVIP covers the remaining cost up to the maximum voucher amount after all other incentives have been applied — HVIP always pays last.
Private Fleets
Up to 90% of vehicle cost through combined public incentives (excluding taxes and fees).
Public Fleets
Up to 100% of vehicle cost through combined public funding (includes public school buses, transit buses, and municipal vehicles).
Important restrictions to keep in mind:
-
- Standard HVIP and ISEF cannot be stacked under any circumstances.
- Rental and fleet management companies serving small fleets innovative solutions should use ISEF for potentially higher voucher amounts (these companies are not eligible for small fleet vouchers in Standard HVIP).
- Vouchers that combine incompatible programs will be cancelled.
- Fleets may be required to return voucher funds if stacking rules are violated.
- Both dealers and purchasers must ensure all program requirements are met for each funding source.
