California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday he will provide $7,500 electric vehicle rebates for his state if President-elect Donald Trump and congressional Republicans dismantle the federal credit – one of several consumer cost-saving measures in President Joe Biden’s climate bill.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state will provide rebates to residents if President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration does away with a federal tax credit for electric vehicles.

California is prepared to offer state tax rebates for electric vehicle purchases if the incoming Trump administration scuttles the federal EV tax credit, the governor said.
