California bets $200M on keeping EVs affordable in budget plan
TL;DR Summary
Governor Gavin Newsom's 2026–27 budget proposes a one-time $200 million light-duty zero-emission vehicle incentive program to maintain EV affordability in California. The plan's per-vehicle breakdown hasn't been disclosed, but reports describe an instant discount at purchase, with potential consideration of used-EV credits. The proposal must still clear the state Legislature, and California's momentum for EV adoption—about 30% of auto sales in Q3 2025—drives the initiative.
