SACRAMENTO – Today, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that three automakers are now offering instant rebates through California's MyFirstEV program. “California is once again leading with bold, decisive action and expanding access to the benefits of zero-emission vehicles with the launch of the MyFirstEV program,” said California Air Resources Board Chair Lauren Sanchez. The MyFirstEV program is making it easy by giving shoppers instant savings right at the dealership and built into the sales process. Links to manufacturer websites are available on the MyFirstEV program webpage and information will be added as it becomes available. Still, nearly 18 million residents live in areas with unhealthy air and 1,500 die from air pollution every year in Southern California alone.
