California E-bike Incentive Program Is Coming into Focus

More government subsidies for electric vehicles! Unlike the federal tax credit of $7,500, California aims at lower income individuals.

I guess, these government subsidies are better than government prohibitions or restrictions etc. on internal combustion engine vehicles!

"Who is eligible

Vouchers can be applied for by California residents over eighteen years old, with a gross annual household income at or below 300 percent of the Federal poverty level.

Incentive amounts

The incentives are limited to one per person. The amounts will be:

1. $1,000 for a base voucher
2. an additional $750 for cargo and adaptive e-bikes
3. an additional $250 for certain priority applicants that meet one of the following:
   reside in a disadvantaged community as defined by S.B. 35, or
   reside in a low-income community as defined by A.B. 1050, or
   gross income is below 225 percent of the federal poverty level"
