Will these grants also help with vehicle maintenance and the increased DMV fees that go with a new car?

This is good news. I am currently on Medi-Caid and EBT/Foodstamps based on my income eligibility.
Does this mean that I will be eligible for a choice of vehicles anywhere from a Chevy Volt to Toyota Prius to a Tesla?
I currently drive a 1978 Plymouth that to date will not meet CA smog requirements but I have an temporary exemption due to automotive parts replacement costs.

The grants MUST include maintenance, DMV costs, full coverage insurance, a charging station at place of residence and eventual battery replacement costs.
There's no reason our low-income neighbors should shoulder the responsibility of these costs.
