3 Reasons State Legislators Abandoned EV Incentives.

California legislators pushing AB 1184 abandonded the $3 billion in EV incentives to pursue a study. So what happened?

• Drafting issues. Opposition focused on a lack fo a plan for funding source
• More information Needed.  The bill now calls for a report that:
  • suggests funding levels necessary to meet state emissions goals
  • the report should recommend changes to the existing rebate program to increase market penetration of such cars and trucks.
• Procurement Opportunity. The bill calls for a contractor to study the issue and offer the recommendations.
