Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) and Fueling Infrastructure Loans
The Nebraska Energy Office administers the Dollar and Energy Saving Loan Program (Program). The Program makes low-cost loans available for a variety of alternative fuel projects, including: the replacement of conventional vehicles with AFVs; the purchase of new AFVs; the conversion of conventional vehicles to operate on alternative fuels; and the construction or purchase of a fueling station or equipment. Dedicated AFVs are eligible, and loans may go towards a portion of the cost of dual-fuel vehicles. The maximum loan amount is $150,000 per borrower, and the interest rate is 5% or less.
State Laws and Regulations
Alternative Fuel User Tax and Registration
The Alternative Fuel Tax Act requires an individual to purchase an alternative fuel user permit in order to pay their estimated fuel tax liability for vehicles that operate using an alternative fuel on state highways. Alternative fuels include electricity and any other source of energy not otherwise taxed under the motor fuel tax laws; compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas are not subject to this requirement. A fee of $75 is assessed at the time the alternative fuel user permit application is submitted to the Motor Fuel Tax Enforcement and Collection Division of the Nebraska Department of Revenue.
