一位名叫Phil Ting的加州眾議員舉辦了新聞發表會
說明他要推動 AB1184 法案
(法案連結：https://goo.gl/WHtXbE )
內容大略是要為購買電動車的民眾提供獎勵，一直到2030年達到一定數量的目標為止
預計要在2025年讓路上的電動車增加到150萬輛、2030年增加到500萬輛
在加州的汽車排放佔總體排放的40%
所以透過這個法案希望能夠降低有害氣體排放
到2050年時希望能將溫室氣體降低80%
而這法案的獎勵將會透過民眾在購車時以降低售價的形式發放
也會考慮到電動車車價以及消費者收入，低收入者可以拿到更多獎勵
PHEV也可得到獎勵，但份額會較少，同時也會考慮其電池容量大小來決定
這個法案將於下星期表決
人家一個州為了降低排放這麼不遺餘力花大錢的在推動
到2030年還有大約13年，會花掉約900億台幣來做為獎勵
若是在台灣不曉得會引發什麼樣的風波
別說900億了，9億可能就被罵到死...

California proposes new $3 billion in incentives to support electric
vehicle adoption
California is already leading electric vehicle adoption in the US, but
they still need to speed things up if they want to achieve their goal of
1.5 million electric vehicles (EVs) by 2025, and 5 million by 2030. There
are currently around 300,000 EVs on California roads today.
A new bill unveiled today would unlock $3 billion worth of incentives for
an updated version of California’s current EV rebate.
Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) introduced Assembly Bill (AB)
1184, which is due for a vote next week.
He commented:
“Electric cars are the future. We have reached a tipping point and it’
s time to give the electric car revolution an aggressive boost. California
’s ambitious goals to reduce climate altering emissions require
transportation electrification. We need an incentive program to get
everyone behind the wheel of an electric vehicle.”
California currently offers a rebate after the purchase of plug-in
electric or fuel cell vehicles ranging between $1,500 and $5,000
depending on the type of vehicle and the income of the buyer.
The new California Electric Vehicle Initiative (CEVI), which would be
created by the AB 1184, would instead offer the incentive directly at the
purchase of the vehicle, which would simplify the process.
The actual value of the incentive will also change, but it will still be
determined by the Air Resources Board, in coordination with the
California Public Utilities Commission and the California Energy
Commission.
Ting says that they will structure the amount to be more competitive with
similar gas-powered cars:
“They would be valued initially to make the cost of battery-powered
vehicles comparable to similar models of gasoline-powered vehicles, after
federal and other credits.”
Of course, those incentives will be applicable on top of the $7,500
federal tax credit if it is still available on the electric vehicles. A
reminder that there is a limit 200,000 federal tax credits by automaker
before a phaseout period is put in place.
Ting says that the $3 billion would come from “a portfolio of
taxpayer-neutral sources” and that the bill also calls for “investing
$500 million per year in cap and trade program funds set aside to ensure
that disadvantaged communities, school and transit buses, and freight
benefit from the transportation electrification.”
When considering Tesla’s upcoming expansion in the state in preparation
for the Model 3 and VW installing ultra-fast 320 kW chargers as part of
its Dieselgate settlement, it looks like California is in good shape to
keep its role as a leader in EV adoption in North America.
