Scrappage programs like Colorado's Vehicle Exchange Program are gaining traction in the US as a way to incentivize clean car purchases and remove high-emission vehicles from the road.
The program offers rebates of up to $6,000 to anyone who buys a new EV and surrenders a combustion-engine car.
The US has a high number of registered vehicles and an aging fleet, making scrappage programs a timely solution for promoting EV adoption.
