Transportation: EV Incentive ProgramsContinuing as program administrators for Californias Clean Vehicle Rebates Project (CVRP), CSE continued its expansion of rebate deliveries by increasing the total amount of incentives paid out to $211.2 million from last year's total of $161.4 million.CSE entered its fifth year administering the Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles- MOR-EV program that is designed to help the state achieve greenhouse gas reductions through incentivizing drivers to go electric.At the Fourth Roadmap Conference, held June 2019 in Portland, Oregon, four CSE clean transportation leaders presented unique industry findings from electric vehicle and electric vehicle infrastructure programs administered by CSE. Presentations covered EV market adoption, overcoming dealership barriers, equity in ownership and the role of EV charging.CSE was selected by New York State in 2019 to assist in its clean transportation programs by administering incentives for a truck and bus purchase program aimed at replacing older, polluting diesel vehicles with cleaner ones, primarily electic vehicles. CSE is now the first line of contact for fleet owners and transit agencies interested in the program.In an article for the September 2019 Natural Gas & Electricity journal, CSE's Karen Glitman, senior director of transportation and distributed energy resources markets, examines how cap-and-invest systems can create a market-based approach to reducing transportation emissions that enables investments in programs that support clean vehicle adoption.Transportation researchers Nicholas Pallonetti and Brett Williams gave a presentation about the impacts of incentive programs on electric vehicle adoption at the 2019 Behavior, Energy, and Climate Change Conference in Sacramento in NOvember 2019. They compared the EV rebates in four states and discussed the types of older vehicles being replaced by EVs, replacement rates, consumer motivations and what might have happened without the rebates.

Distributed Energy Resources: Steve Weissman, a senior principal energy policy advisor, explored the capabilities of renewable and low-carbon power technologies to provide electric grid reliability instead of natural gas or coal-fired generating plants in the June 2019 edition of the journal Natural Gas & Electricity.CSE engineering and policy experts discussed the many technical, regulatory and institutional opportunities surrounding multiple-use applications of customer-sited solar power, battery storage and smart meters to better manage and control energy needs, cut costs and reduce peak demand in the August 2019 edition of Natural Gas & Electricity.

Transportation: EV Infrastructure Programs In April 2019, CSE launched the Sacramento County Incentive Project to increase access to publicly available electric vehicle chargers with up to $15.5 million in funds for qualifying local businesses and nonprofit organizations. It is part of the statewide California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP) to support the widespread adoption of electric cars.
