California is taking a significant step towards reducing its carbon footprint and promoting a more sustainable transportation system. In a bid to encourage drivers to switch to electric vehicles, the state government has unveiled a new tax credit program. Eligible drivers who purchase or lease an electric vehicle can now claim a tax credit of up to $5,000, with the amount depending on the vehicle's battery capacity. The move is part of California's efforts to meet its ambitious goal of having 5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2030.
