AI Summary

This bill aims to promote the purchase and use of new and pre-owned electric vehicles (EVs) in Massachusetts. It establishes a competitive grant program to help regional transit authorities purchase and use EVs and related charging infrastructure. The bill also creates an EV dealership rebate program, providing rebates to dealers and their salespeople for selling or leasing eligible EVs. Additionally, it establishes consumer rebate programs for the purchase or lease of new and used EVs, with higher rebates for lower-priced vehicles. The bill requires state agencies, authorities, and municipalities to assess their vehicle fleets and identify opportunities to replace them with EVs. It also directs the Department of Energy Resources to study the costs and benefits of an instant rebate system and additional financial incentives for low-income EV purchasers. Finally, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation is tasked with developing a regional strategic plan to guide the development of EV charging infrastructure across the state.
