California is launching a new incentive program to boost electric vehicle (EV) sales, offering a $3,500 rebate for new EVs priced up to $50,000. This initiative aims to counteract a significant drop in EV sales following the elimination of a federal rebate. Automakers are expected to match half of the rebate, with certain California-based companies like Rivian and Lucid having their price caps waived. While some experts believe this could help, others are skeptical about its overall impact, particularly regarding how automakers will apply the incentive. AI
