Driving Clean Assistance Program (DCAP)
Interested in moving away from your gas-powered vehicle? California has released a massive incentive program to the North Coast for the purchase of a clean-air vehicle!
The Driving Clean Assistance Program (DCAP), in partnership with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), provides incentives statewide in California to assist low-income and disadvantaged communities in purchasing clean air vehicles. This program aims to combat climate change and predatory lending practices while also offering continuous financial coaching (Source: drivingcleanca.org).
Funds for the DCAP are administered by the Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC) in partnership with the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
The following are CARB’s intentions for the DCAP program:
- Better reach communities within the state who have historically benefited the least from CARB’s incentive programs.
- Provide financial Incentives and professional advice to assist Californians in low-income/DAC communities in accessing clean air vehicles.
- Allow for statewide access to the incentives in CA’s Clean Cars 4 All program.
- For new or used EVs, PHEVs and FCVs
- An eligible low-income applicant is defined as having a household income ≤ 300% Federal Poverty Level (FPL)
- One incentive per household
- Incentives must be applied for before completing your purchase of an EV
