3 Feb
Summary
- California's proposed EV incentive program is valued at $200 million.
- Program is exclusively for first-time electric vehicle buyers.
- Participating manufacturers must provide matching incentives.

California has proposed a new $200 million incentive program designed to encourage electric vehicle adoption. This initiative will specifically target first-time buyers, aiming to make EVs more accessible. As announced on Monday by Governor Gavin Newsom's administration, a key requirement for participation is that manufacturers must offer matching incentives.
The program intends to help defray the initial purchase price for both new and used electric vehicles. While specific incentive amounts are still pending, the administration has indicated that eligible vehicles will have associated price caps. This plan represents a significant state-level effort to boost EV sales.
