California EV Buyer Incentive Agreement Moves Toward Point-of-Sale Savings

California’s proposed first-time electric vehicle buyer incentive is moving from budget concept to implementation planning, with the state and automakers expected to share the cost of new point-of-sale savings for residents buying their first EV.

EVs for All America helped design the program and build support for the funding over the past year, including meetings with the Governor’s office, state legislators, CARB, and the California Energy Commission. Krassner said the organization also worked alongside a coalition of automakers and partners, including CALSTART, CalETC, and EDF.
