Statement of EDF Distinguished Counsel Peter Zalzal on Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposal for a new zero-emission vehicle incentive program
“The Governor’s leadership to provide point-of-sale rebates for new and used electric vehicles will have enormous benefits for Californians. This can-do proposal will make clean cars more affordable, saving families money, cutting harmful pollution, spurring innovation, and supporting the global competitiveness of our auto industry. EDF remains eager to work with all stakeholders to support, build on, and expand this momentum and turn this vision into reality.”
