Closing the HVIP Grant Gap
How California districts bridge the space between HVIP awards and total project cost.
California School Bus Financing
Close the gap between EPA Clean School Bus or HVIP awards and the total delivered cost of your electric bus fleet. We structure tax-exempt lease-purchase financing that waits on grant reimbursement, not on your cash reserves.
Most grants do not cover 100% of the project. Charging infrastructure, delivery, installation, and training can push the total cost well above the award. Meanwhile, vendors need a purchase order and the district needs buses in service. A tax-exempt lease-purchase fills that space.
Finance the difference between the grant award and the full project cost, including charging hardware and installation.
Structure payments to begin after grant reimbursement or after the buses are in service, protecting cash flow.
Leases are structured as non-debt obligations that fit California district appropriations law and board approval processes.
Share the grant award letter, vendor proposal, and project timeline so we know the full funding gap.
We build a tax-exempt lease-purchase with a term and payment schedule that matches the grant reimbursement plan.
The funder pays the vendor or reimburses the district. Buses and chargers are delivered and payments begin on schedule.
