Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Grant Program

Expired: 09/02/2006
The Indiana Office of Energy and Defense Development (OED) administers the AFV Grant Program. The AFV Grant Program offers up to $75,000 in cost-share grants to vehicle fleets for the use of compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid petroleum gas (LPG), or electricity as alternatives to conventional gasoline or diesel fuel. Grants are awarded for refueling infrastructure and vehicle purchase or conversion. Eligible project costs include public-access refueling infrastructure (CNG, LPG, and hydrogen), vehicle conversion costs (CNG and LPG), and incremental costs of original equipment manufacturer AFVs (CNG, hydrogen, and hybrid-electric). Strong preference will be given to applicants who are members of a Clean Cities Coalition and to projects that are located in an Indiana county in nonattainment status for ozone or particulate matter. Applications must be received by OED or postmarked by September 1, 2006, in order to be eligible. Projects must be completed by May 31, 2007, and each grantee must commit to use the alternative fuel until December 31, 2008.

Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Grants

Expired: 03/31/2006
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor, Energy Group administers the AFV Grant Program for projects that involve the purchase of AFVs, conversion of conventionally fueled vehicles to operate on alternative fuels, installation of AFV refueling facilities, purchase and use of renewable transportation fuels, or combinations of these purposes. AFVs include vehicles capable of operating on electricity, ethanol, propane, hydrogen and natural gas, as defined by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct). They do not include hybrid electric vehicles. Grant amounts range from $2,000 to $50,000 and are determined according to the following formulas:

  1. For the purchase of OEM AFVs for which the manufacturer produces a conventionally fueled equivalent, 80% of the incremental cost is eligible for funding.
  2. For the purchase of OEM AFVs for which the manufacturer does not produce a conventionally fueled equivalent, 30% of the overall cost of the vehicle is eligible for funding.
  3. For the conversion of vehicles to run on an alternative fuel, 80% of the cost of conversion is eligible for funding.
  4. For the purchase and installation of refueling facilities for an alternative fuel to be used in vehicles, 50% of the facility cost is eligible for funding.
  5. For the purchase and use of E85 or biodiesel in blends of 20% or higher, 50% of the incremental cost is eligible for funding.

Project budgets may include funding from third party sources, but the applicant itself must directly contribute at least 20% of the project's total budget. If a grant is awarded, the applicant will receive funds on a reimbursement basis only. Businesses, non-profit institutions and units of local government (including public school systems) are eligible to apply. AFV grants will not be awarded to fund research projects. Entities that are required to purchase alternative fuel vehicles under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 are not eligible for grants under this program.
