What backs it

California's RIDE program provides eligible ride-hailing drivers up to $20,300 for new zero-emission vehicles or $14,200 for used EVs, plus $1,170 annually for charging costs—designed specifically for low- and moderate-income drivers who log high mileage.

Worth noting

Program effectiveness depends on driver uptake and implementation by ride-hailing companies.
