Bollinger Motors has qualified for the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), the California state incentive for commercial EVs. When combined with Inflation Reduction Act incentives, California-based customers can now qualify for incentives up to $100,000 per vehicle.

“HVIP certification is another important milestone in our journey to grow our commercial truck electric vehicle market share,” said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer of Bollinger Motors. “California has taken a leadership role in creating a market for commercial electric vehicles and will be a critical market for the B4. California and Bollinger Motors share a vision for more sustainable transportation options.”

HVIP provides point-of-sale incentives for clean trucks and buses to power California communities and drive commercial technology transformation. To date, the program has funded more than 12,000 clean vehicle purchases.
