ELECTRIC VEHICLE

As part of the Office of Science and Technology Advancement, 
the technology implementation section's role is to encourage 
the immediate use of commercially available, low-emission 
mobile and stationary technologies.  The incentive programs, 
which include incremental funding or subsidies, are designed 
to promote voluntary introduction of new technologies on an 
accelerated schedule.  This also provides manufacturers with 
justification to gear up for mass production of the cleaner technologies.

HEV Tax Incentives
Light-duty hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) qualify for 
the federal Clean Fuel Vehicle (CFV) tax deduction. 
Deductions are based on the incremental cost of the vehicle, 
which are submitted by the auto manufacturers and then 
certified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

ICAT is an Air Resources Board program that co-funds 
the demonstration of innovative technologies that can 
reduce air pollution. Its purpose is to advance such 
technologies toward commercial application, thereby 
reducing emissions and helping the economy of California

The Energy Innovations Small Grant (EISG) Program 
provides up to $95,000 for hardware projects and $50,000 
for modeling projects to small businesses, non-profits, 
individuals and academic institutions to conduct research 
that establishes the feasibility of new, innovative energy 
concepts. Research projects must target one of the six PIER 
program areas, address a California energy problem and provide 
a potential benefit to California electric and natural gas ratepayers.

Public-private partnerships have enabled the AQMD to 
leverage its public funds with outside investment to encourage 
the use of commercially available, low-emission mobile and stationary technologies.
AQMD's Governing Board established the Technology Advancement Office (TAO)

Since its inception, TAO has cofunded research, development 
and demonstration projects in a cooperative partnership with 
private industry, technology developers, academic and research 
institutes, and local, state, and federal agencies.
