California's EV Boom Benefits the Wealthy, Study Shows.

A new study in California has found that half of the state’s EV rebates are going to affluent areas, where the air quality is already higher, while just seven percent of California’s EV rebates went to communities that the state classed as “disadvantaged.” Even with a $7,500 tax break on an electric vehicle, most models are wildly out of the price range for anyone in a low-income household. The study warns that the way this money is distributed across the state would have an impact on the emissions in different locations.
