EV Ballot Proposition

What’s happening? This November California voters could vote on the Clean Cars and Clean Air Act that will fund both EV infrastructure and wildfire prevention.

Why is this important? The revenue source would be a 1.75%  increase in taxes on individuals or couples making more than $2 million per year. Generating $4 billion. This isn’t new. IN 2004, CA passed a 1% increase on similar taxpayers to fund mental health care.

How will this be important? The revenue would fund:

• 45% would fund rebates and other incentives for new zero-emission and electric vehicle purchases
• 35% for EV charging stations and half of that would go to low-income communities
• 20% on wildfire prevention and suppression programs with priority given to hiring and training firefighters
