Minorities are missing out on green vehicle rebates, a study has showed. Research by the University of California, Berkeley, said higher income groups were more likely to get electric vehicle (EV) rebates. Hispanic law requires that 10% of Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) be given to disadvantaged communities. But researchers Dana Rubin and Evelyne St-Louis found that residents of predominantly Californian or African American neighbourhoods were less likely to have applied for clean vehicle rebates.
