HVIP FY22-23 Implementation Manual Now Available

September 5, 2023

The HVIP FY22-23 Implementation Manual (IM) is now available. The IM further explains policy changes that have gone into effect throughout FY22-23, per previously released FAQs, policy updates, and Dealer Training materials.

New updates to FAQs, from the FY22-23 IM:

• Fleet size: Starting January 1, 2024, consistent with the Advanced Clean Fleet Regulation (ACF), HVIP’s fleet size definition for new voucher requests placed on or after January 1, 2024 will include ALL vehicles owned directly or under common ownership, including those domiciled or operated outside of California.
• Regulatory context: HVIP does not prohibit vehicles receiving incentives from being used for future ACF compliance purposes. In other words, an HVIP-funded vehicle purchased prior to or in excess of regulatory requirements can be used to count toward future requirements where applicable.
• Updated information regarding: funds stacking; manufacturer transfer; demo vehicles; Vehicle to Grid requirements for school buses; and how redemption is addressed if infrastructure readiness is causing a delay in the purchaser accepting the vehicle.

Development of the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) FY23-24 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives, which includes HVIP, is now underway, and more information will be published at www.CaliforniaHVIP.org when available later this year.
