California Gov. Gavin Newsom is encouraging constituents to buy electric vehicles by offering partial refunds in a new proposal. However, buyers of vehicles sold by Tesla Inc. will not be included in the proposal, an addition which prompted an indignant response from Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
On Monday, Newsom shared plans to renew the expired Clean Vehicle Rebate Program provided that President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his previous promise to end federal electric vehicle tax credit, worth up to $7,500 for new zero-emission vehicles and $4,000 for some used ones.
