Background
ZAP was established by Assembly Bill 193 (Cervantes, Chapter 363, Statutes of 2018) to help lower-income Californians reduce the risk of buying a used zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) or near-zero-emission vehicle (NZEV) (plug-in hybrid) by providing a rebate or vehicle service contract for the replacement battery or fuel cell components. Repair costs are a significant barrier to entry for lower-income Californians. ZAP complements the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) light-duty vehicle purchase incentive programs, such as Clean Cars 4 All and Financing Assistance, by helping to alleviate low-income residents’ concerns about premature battery degradation, resulting in reduced vehicle performance, vehicle depreciation, and costly repairs.
