Gavin Newsom Says California Will Intervene If Trump Reverses This Biden-Era Policy

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said this week that his state will intervene if President-election Donald Trump eliminates the electric vehicle tax credit passed under President Joe Biden.
“Consumers continue to prove the skeptics wrong – zero-emission vehicles are here to stay,” Newsom said in a statement on Monday. “We will intervene if the Trump Administration eliminates the federal tax credit, doubling down on our commitment to clean air and green jobs in California. We’re not turning back on a clean transportation future — we’re going to make it more affordable for people to drive vehicles that don’t pollute.”
Reportedly, if the incoming Trump Administration eliminates the federal ZEV tax credit, Newsom will propose creating a new version of his state’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program, which was phased out last year (via The Hill):
Under the current law, consumers can receive a tax credit of up to $7,500 for a new electric, plug-in hybrid or fuel cell vehicles and up to $4,000 for a used one. Trump has previously said he hasn’t made up his mind on the tax incentives, which were part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
“I’m not making any final decisions on it,” Trump said in August. “I’m a big fan of electric cars, but I’m a fan of gasoline-propelled cars, and also hybrids and whatever else happens to come along.”
Earlier this month, Newson traveled to Washington, D.C. to “protect” California’s policies from President-elect Donald Trump.
As Townhall reported, Newsom sought a $5.2 billion reimbursement for emergency funding during the COVID-19 pandemic, updates to California’s Medicaid program, and other priorities during a meeting with the Biden administration. Another item on the agenda was discussing policies surrounding zero-emission vehicles.
Additionally, after Trump’s election victory, Newsom called a special session with state lawmakers. As Sarah covered, this was meant to devise a plan to fight against federal policies that impact abortion, illegal immigration, so-called “climate change,” among many others.

If EVs were all that, they wouldn’t need a subsidy. Newsome is an a-hole

It’s a good thing the taxpayers in California don’t mind feeding this Schwarzenegger “Terminator” lifestyle for the greaseball. The Wimpinator is going to take on the Trumpinator.

“Consumers continue to prove the skeptics wrong – zero-emission vehicles are here to stay,” Newsom said.
If so then you do not need tax credits.

Zero emission if electricity comes from unicorn farts. Even their vaunted bird shredders are environmentally filthy.

Not laws, not federal statutes. DACA is not a law - never was.
A ‘policy’. Policy can be reversed. There ARE laws against aiding illegals to enter and stay here, however.

The idea of seeing Newsom in jail for harboring federal fugitives makes me all goose-bumpy!

EVs are a perfectly reasonable solution for certain use cases, and I have no problem with people choosing them if they fit their needs.
But I have a real problem with government forbidding people from using IC engines when they believe they are a better fit.

With his ‘Socialist Paradise’ beginning to hemorrhage people and capital...I think that’s an excellent tactic. Keep it up Newscum!

Consumers are not proving skeptics wrong. Sales of electric cars have leveled off and show signs of decline.
Given a free choice most people don’t want an electric car.

California is not updating their grid to handle their EVs. It’ll be a problem due to their blackouts.
