People usually ask me since I'm the car guy around the office, For example the Ford Fusion Hybrid is on the list, but the Nissan Altima Hybrid is not, since its an equivalent (using Toyota's hybrid synergy drive train) it meets the requirements by association.
One then goes to purchase or lease the new vehicle, brings in the paperwork, and gets a payout of $5k for buying under the Green Vehicle Program.
Our CEO has an O.G. Toyota RAV4-E & a Prius, amongst the rest of the lot are a bunch more Prii, a Ford Escape Hybrid, Altima hybrids, and Civic hybrids. But nobody has gone "all in" and picked up a Tesla Roadster, Nissan Leaf, or Chevy Volt, although we have had investors roll up in those vehicles.
