Newsom Ready to Create State EV Tax Credit if Trump Ends Fed Incentive

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : "Better now than the unknown."Shin said that the 2,000 members of the Tesla car club have for days been discussing in their private Facebook group the possibility that the credit could be rolled back, a particularly hot-button issue given Elon Musk, who owns Tesla and is an adviser to Trump, wants the credit killed.
45% : Electric vehicles became symbolic of President Biden's climate agenda, and therefore a prime target for Trump and Republicans.
39% : Trump cannot unilaterally eliminate the electric vehicle tax credits, which are part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
37% : As he did during his first term, Trump is expected to try once again to block California's authority to set auto emissions limits that are stricter than federal standards.
26% : Newsom said today that if Trump eliminated the credit, the governor would propose restarting a rebate program that California had for zero-emissions vehicles from 2010 to 2023.
