Here is a current list of incentives and programs in Vermont aimed at promoting zero-emission and low-emission vehicles for commercial fleets, including automobiles, trucks, vans, and buses:
Zero Emission Vehicles: Vermont's Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program requires an increasing sale of ZEVs over the next decade. The program offers substantial flexibility for manufacturers through mechanisms such as credit banking and trading, alternative compliance options, and cross-state credit pooling.
Low Emission Vehicles: The Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) program in Vermont mandates that new vehicles sold in the state meet stringent California emissions standards. This includes requirements for sales-weighted fleet average emissions standards for pollutants and greenhouse gases, and a portion of the vehicles sold must meet ZEV standards.
Drive Electric Vermont: A statewide initiative that provides resources such as buying guides, incentives, and a charging station locator to promote the adoption of electric vehicles. The program also hosts events and demo days to educate Vermonters about electric vehicle technology.
Vermont ZEV Action Plan: Developed in collaboration with other states, this plan aims to accelerate the adoption of ZEVs in Vermont by implementing a range of state-specific actions, supporting infrastructure development, and coordinating with regional initiatives.
These programs are part of Vermont’s broader efforts to reduce emissions from the transportation sector, enhance air quality, and move towards a more sustainable future.
