Statistics from California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program show that rebates for nearly 16,000 vehicles have been provided from March 2010 to December 2012.  Just over half of the rebates have been for Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs), not including NEVs.  NEVs account for only a small slice of the rebate pie with a total of 86 rebates over the time period.  The slice is even smaller in dollar terms as ZEVs are eligible for rebates of up to $2,500 and NEVs only $900.  In total approximately $24 million went to ZEV rebates and $100,000 for NEV rebates.  Other eligible vehicle categories include plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), which account for the bulk of the remaining rebates, commercial ZEVs and zero emission motorcycles (ZEM).  In comparison, ZEMs were slightly more popular than NEVs with rebates provided for 120 vehicles.  Learn more:  Torquenews.com
