Commercial Vehicle Emissions Scheme (CVES)
Under the CVES, LGVs are classified into Bands A, B or C by their worst-performing pollutant among the following: carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), NOx and PM.

For Band A vehicles, the $30,000 incentive will be disbursed annually in equal payments to the prevailing vehicle owner over three years (i.e. $10,000 a year). For Band B vehicles, the owner will receive an upfront $10,000 incentive upon vehicle registration. For Band C vehicles, a $10,000 surcharge will be imposed, likewise upon vehicle registration.
To account for the CO2 emissions produced by electricity generation from fossil fuels, an emission factor of 0.4g CO2/Wh will be applied to the electricity consumption of electric vehicles (EVs) as measured under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulation No.101 test procedures.
