Governor Newsom secures 13 automakers to offer instant rebates for first-time ZEV buyers

Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that 13 major automakers are teaming up with the Golden State to offer instant rebates to Californians buying or leasing their first zero-emission vehicle. California is proving that a state can lead on affordability and clean air even as the Trump administration walks away from both.

Trisha DelloIacono, Head of Policy, CALSTART: “CALSTART champions the Governor and Legislature’s budget agreement, a decisive action that strengthens California’s global zero-emission leadership. This budget provides critical market certainty by providing funding for light-duty consumer incentives and the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP). We commend California’s leaders for matching climate ambition with capital and look forward to continuing to work together to advance additional transportation investments needed to support deployment, strengthen supply chains, and provide transportation alternatives.”
