California Incentives For Natural Gas Coming

"The California Energy Commission has opened up a new funding opportunity that will offer natural gas vehicle incentives at the point of sale through OEMs and their dealers and distributors." Here is a link to the California Energy Commission's site with complete information. The incentives cover these ranges:

• Up to 8,500 lbs. GVW, $1,000 per vehicle
• 8,501 - 16,000 lbs. GVW, $6,000
• 16,001 - 26,000 lbs. GVW, $11,000
• 26,001 - 33,000 lbs. GVW, $20,000
• 33,001 lbs. GVW and higher: $25,000

But, of course, there are conditions. The vehicles must be new, on-road natural gas vehicles that meet the 2010 California emission requirements. They have to be registered in California and operated for at least 3 years. They have to have a full warranty.
