CT DEEP EVs versus E-Bikes - Program statistics are updated monthly for the EV portion of the CHEAPR program. E-Bikes - are updated periodically (meaning we have ZERO current data on the second round which looks to be the final round absent any commitment from the Commissioner).

Depressing. The CHEAPR board is stacked with auto lobbyists, while environmental seats sit vacant.

"E-bike incentives better address the needs of low-income households compared to car-centric funding." Quote from Advocate on funding split between E-Bikes and EVs in CT's CHEAPR program.

I went to Trader Joe's today to get flowers because I like to get some cheapr flowers there every Friday for the living room, and one thing I have to say about the current generation is that I really think far more of them have their own distinctive clothing style then when I was their age

CHEAPR Rebates Upcoming Change
evclubct.com/cheapr-rebat...
Significant Potential Upcoming Change
"Based on the tenor of the recent CHEAPR board meeting, there seems to be a high likelihood of a loosening of vehicle eligibility requirements for the Rebate+ Used portion of the program."
CHEAPR Data Update and New Program Rules | EV Club CT
Potential looser rules around used EVs and an uptick in rebates in Q2. Details here.

The CHEAPR board has openings. If this sparks passion for people, please consider applying to serve. We could use you!

One last thing: this claim — that "climate advocates" are "uncomfortable" with clean energy becoming cheapr and more abundant is such a gobsmacking falsehood that I cannot believe it made it to print.

Interviews have started and in addition to looking to CHEAPR E-Bike program participants, I am also looking to talk to advocates who know about the program and feel passionate about it. Is that you? DM me please.
CT Folks, please share! 🚲 Did you or someone you know receive an e-bike voucher through the CHEAPR program (Round 1 or Round 2)? I’m looking to interview participants for my graduate school capstone project about their experiences. Interested? Let me know! #Nutmegsky

CT also has an EV rebate program that can be used *with* the federal credit (until 9/30). After September the CT credit will still be around. Rebates are higher for low income folks. portal.ct.gov/deep/air/mob....

My fun fact is that my go-to examples for Arnstein's ladder, esp in the non-participation and tokensism sections, are from Connecticut & West Hartford transportation policy. CHEAPR absolutely gets a mention in these classes. #NutmegSky

Tuesday I'll be opening officially my base fill and other YCH shop! Thank you all for the support on my mini-YCH I put out over the weekend! I'll have more of these offered soon!

Tuesdays opening will just be a variety of base fill commissions and since they are basefills, they'll be a lil cheapr!

There is a CHEAPR board meeting today at 3pm and the rumor is that they want to stop funding the ebike program with the current budget, focusing exclusively on EVs. Stay tuned.

3/ cars are a disaster on so many levels, but especially for a family’s finances. Even allowing them to go down to one car would be huge.

Expand CT Connectivity Grants, revamp buses (a pet project of @urbandispatch.bsky.social) and maintain the CHEAPR rebate program for ebikes.

There is a Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate (CHEAPR) program board meeting in December. We'll be talking about federal incentives. The program supports our hugely popular ebike incentives - curious to see how this shakes out.

“Running out of funding”for ebike vouchers has been foreshadowed by DEEP staff in many meetings. The allocation of $1.5 million for ebike vouchers over a three year CHEAPR budget forecast is purely at the Commissioners’ discretion and compares with about $25 million or so in CHEAPR EV vouchers.

CHEAPR Incentive Held Steady In A Complex Landscape

Further $500 Reduction on Hold
“Given the federal bill, it is some small comfort that the BEV incentive from CHEAPR has not been reduced. We hope DEEP will adopt a watchful waiting posture for CHEAPR as the …”
CHEAPR Incentive Held Steady In A Complex Landscape
The potential further reduction to the BEV purchase incentive is still on hold. Rebate volume slows. Tesla rebates down.

I think we've nearly reached the end of the first round of voucher redemption of CT's CHEAPR ebike rebate program. 385 ebikes out on the road. I still get goosebumps. #CHEAPR #Ebikes #EbikeIncentives So many important lessons learned for subsequent rounds.
