California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday that the state could create new rebates for zero-emission vehicles if President-elect Donald Trump scraps federal tax credit for electric vehicle (EV) purchases.

Newsom said he would propose creating a new version of the state’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program if the incoming Trump administration repeals the EV tax credit program rolled out under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
