Monday, 13 July 2026 11:58 AM EDT
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation Monday to create state rebates of $3,500 on new electric vehicles for first-time buyers later this summer as U.S. sales have slowed.
The $270 million rebate program for California residents is funded by the state budget and automakers and applies to new vehicles with a suggested retail price of up to $50,000.
It also includes a separate $1,750 rebate for used EVs costing up to $25,000.
Last year, President Donald Trump signed legislation killed the federal $7,500 EV tax credit.
