New York State Legislation

New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Program: Provides financial assistance and technical information to encourage the purchase and use of alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs) and establish fueling/charging stations.  As part of the program, NYSERDA has implemented a number of AFV projects to reduce emissions, displace petroleum, train workers, and employ new AFV technology.  For information on specific funding opportunities, visit our Funding section and NYSERDA's AFV website: http://www.nyserda.org/programs/transportation/AFV/default.asp

Tax credits: Tax credits are currently available in the state of NY through 2010 for 50% of the installation cost of clean-fuel vehicle refueling property and infrastructure.  Eligible clean fuels are fuels which are at least 85% methanol, ethanol, any other alcohol, or ether.  These include natural gas, liquified petroleum gas, hydrogen, and electricity.
