California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a proposal Monday that would implement a state rebate for electric vehicle purchases in response to the incoming presidency of Donald Trump who will likely end the Biden-implemented federal tax credits.

Governor Gavin Newsom has announced plans to revive California's electric vehicle (EV) rebate program if the incoming Trump administration eliminates the federal $7,500 EV tax credit. The move would position California as a safety net for clean energy consumers, ensuring the affordability of zero-emission vehicles in the nation’s largest EV market.
