During today's speech, Biden didn't share details of the idea such as how much the incentives would be or what constitutes bad fuel efficiency. 5.1 million for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) 5 million for the Comprehensive Centers Program 185 million for the Education Innovation and Research Program (EIR) (awarded in early FY 2021) 124. It essentially sounds like the Cash for Clunkers scheme back in 2009 where people could replace their vehicles with more efficient ones. The piece that would impact drivers the most is a plan to offer incentives or rebates for people to swap their older, less fuel-efficient cars for EVs made in America.
