Voucher Funding Amounts
As of March 15, 2024, the funding cap for the categories listed in Table 1 has increased to 50%. If additional funding is added to the Program, a Vehicle Purchaser or Vehicle Operator who has already met this threshold may request vouchers for up to 25% of the new total funding category amount. Incentive levels have also been increased for EV Class 4-8 trucks, listed in Table 2.
As of January 31, 2024, NYTVIP no longer funds school buses. Funding for zero emission school buses and charging equipment is now awarded separately, through the New York School Bus Incentive Program.
As of March 3, 2024, the incentive period for Cargo Handling Equipment (CHE) has closed and no new applications will be accepted.
Vouchers are currently available to fleets across New York State interested in purchasing Class 4-8 medium- and heavy-duty vehicles that are full Battery Electric (BEV) or Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCEV).
Vouchers cover a percentage of the incremental cost of the vehicle, the difference in cost between the BEV/FCEV truck or bus and a comparable diesel vehicle. Voucher amounts are subject to funding availability and applicable per-project caps. For more information about program eligibility and rules, consult the Program Implementation Manual
