What backs it

California's MyFirstEV scheme, launched in August 2026, has enabled nearly 12,000 people to purchase their first zero-emission vehicle using instant point-of-sale rebates of $3,500 for new vehicles or $1,750 for used ones. The state committed $135.5 million with participating automakers matching dollar-for-dollar, creating a $271 million fund.
