This system in question is California's former Clean Vehicle Rebate program, which offered as much as $7,Five hundred to eligible state residents who met certain income requirements and desired to purchase or lease an eligible vehicle. By the point it changed into phased out in 2023, it provided over sixty six,000 rebates to low-income consumers at a value of more than $354 million.
