California's electric vehicle (EV) market has taken a surprising hit, with sales declining in recent months. Experts attribute the downturn to significant changes in federal policy, which are reshaping the EV landscape and affecting consumer purchasing decisions. The shift in policy has led to increased costs for EV manufacturers, making their products less competitive in the market. As the US government's tax incentives and subsidies for EVs are scaled back, industry insiders are warning that California's ambitious goals to transition to a zero-emission transportation sector may be delayed.
