The Natural Gas Vehicle Incentive Project (NGVIP) provides incentives to reduce the purchase price of new on-road natural gas vehicles for use in California. The incentives are available on a first-come, first-served basis and at varying levels depending on the gross vehicle weight. Details of the program are available in the application manual.
The NGVIP is administered by the Institute of Transportation Studies, at UC Irvine on behalf of the California Energy Commission.
August 01, 2017: We are currently working through a large set of claims received at the end of July and hope to have the initial processing completed soon so we can update claimants accordingly. We have updated the estimated funding available to reflect expired claims whose funding will be recycled back into the program, though these amounts are estimates only and are subject to change. As we finalize our claim and expiration processing, we will being clearing the existing waitlist.
As always, please contact us if you need clarification.
February 09, 2017: To clear up some confusion regarding the additional funding added to the NGVIP, we want to note that the 30 vehicle cap mentioned in the application manual at the start of the project on August 07, 2015, is still in place. Therefore, the total number of vehicle incentives any entity may receive under the project since that start date is still 30. Any applications received that exceed this cap will be rejected.
As always, please contact us if you need clarification.

Obtaining an incentive has three main steps (see the application manual for complete details).
Once the administrator has received a valid incentive payment request with complete supporting documentation, we will process and send your incentive payment within 90 days.
The NGVIP Administrator is now accepting reservation applications. See the application manual for details.
