LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Monday the western U.S. state will step in to provide rebates for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) buyers if the incoming Trump administration follows through on its threat to eliminate the federal tax credit.
"We will intervene if the Trump administration eliminates the federal tax credit, doubling down on our commitment to clean air and green jobs in California," said Newsom in a statement, noting that "We're not turning back on a clean transportation future -- we're going to make it more affordable for people to drive vehicles that don't pollute."
