Toyota allows some hybrid plug-in vehicle owners to reduce their carbon footprint further. Car makers have launched a new initiative called a clean assistance program, which allows the owner of Prime Prime and RAV4 in California to match 100 percent of their charging activities with renewable electricity.
As Toyota described, plugging the vehicle by getting energy from the grid. And while the grid does draw some energy from solar farms and wind converters, still mostly getting energy from coal and other fossil fuel-based sources. Clean assistance programs give people ways to compensate for their electricity usage whether they are connected at home, at their workplace or elsewhere.
It will not require prime prime and RAV4 costs to participate in the initiative, but they must choose through the Toyota application. That’s because the car maker will use the application to track the number of electrical participants used during filling, so that it can produce or buy a number of equivalents of the California renewable energy certificate. This rec is part of the EPA program which states that vehicles are charged using renewable energy.
Toyota sends evidence that filling activities are matched with zero-carbon electricity to the California Air Resources Board to obtain low-carbon fuel standard credit that can be sold. Revenues are then used to promote vehicle electrification and buy more rec. The purpose of a net helper is “to reduce the emissions of the California transportation GHG, including through the use of renewable electricity to accuse EVs,” the car maker said. While the program has no fees to the owner, they can choose out whenever they want any reason.
