Changes in #California rebates for #ElectricCars aims to get more drivers in #EVs and out of ICE cars. $12k to scrap your car with close to $10k in rebates? Now you're talking massive adoption.

(Just one question: what about all the embodied carbon of all those old cars? What are we going to do with all that??)

CalMattersCalifornia scales back electric car rebates to focus on lower-income car buyersNow that electric cars are mainstream, higher-income Californians will no longer qualify for state subsidies.

Yes, drivers of #EVs should pay their fair share of taxes for road maintenance. But taxing providers of free public chargers doesn't do much to incentivize the #ElectricRevolution, especially for apartment dwellers who cannot charge at home for much lower rates than at pay-for public stations.

Why not tack on a VAT for every new $60k+ ICE vehicle sold? There has to be another way to capture those funds from non-EVs.
