Californians love EVs... just not for the poor.
California voters rejected Prop 30, which would have increased taxes on people making over $2 million a year to subsidize electric vehicle purchases for low-income residents, among other climate change fighting measures. Opponents claimed the measure would have been a huge windfall for Lyft, even though it wasn’t really clear how. It’s a weird result, considering the state’s voters handed Lyft (and Uber) a giant win by approving Prop 22 just two years ago. Why so fickle, California?
