Zero-emission vehicles are the future — and @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom is making them more accessible today.

While the federal government walked away from EV incentives, California just launched the MyFirstEV program, offering instant rebates to first-time buyers.

Buying your first zero-emission vehicle is now way more affordable.

And now, 13 major automakers are backing California's instant rebate of $3,500 for new models and $1,750 for used models.

We're proving that lowering costs and growing American manufacturing go hand-in-hand.

Well, I think this might be the sign we needed to finally jump into an EV.

Hyundai is running some pretty good incentives on Ioniq 5s right now, too. We’ll see how much they stack with the MyFirstEV program.

Stay tuned 👀
