The Zero-Emission Assurance Project, or ZAP, aims to prevent individuals from purchasing an electric vehicle without having to replace their batteries. The program covers eligible California residents with serious issues with the battery packs, fuel cells, or battery management systems. It also covers up to $7,500 in repairs or, if the cost of the repair is too high, and $10,000 in purchase grants for new vehicles. The initiative is part of a series of incentives by the California Air Resources Board, which is responsible for protecting the public from air pollution and combating climate change.
