California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the launch of the California Clean Fuel Reward (CCFR) rebate program for medium and heavy-duty trucks. With applications now open, the effort aims to help fleets adopt zero-emission electric technology.
With funding from the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program, California expects CCFR to become the nation's largest utility-administered rebate program for electric trucks. The state plans to make $250 million available this year and more than $1 billion in total rebate funding through 2030.
Beginning June 26, California will offer rebates at authorized retailers for public and private fleets. The rebates range from $7,500 to $120,000 and can be applied toward the purchase of new electric medium and heavy‑duty commercial vehicles, including drayage trucks, electric semis, box trucks, delivery vans and other fleet vehicles.
According to a state press release, zero-emission vehicles accounted for nearly 23% of new medium and heavy-duty vehicle sales in California in 2024. The release added that California has more than 200,000 public and shared electric vehicle charging stations, along with an estimated 800,000 chargers installed in homes statewide.
