California's electric vehicle market has taken a significant hit, with Ford EV sales plummeting in the state following the cancellation of the federal rebate program that incentivized buyers to switch to eco-friendly vehicles. The move, which went into effect in August, has dealt a major blow to the automotive industry, particularly for manufacturers like Ford that heavily relied on the rebate program to boost sales. As a result, the company has seen a substantial decline in demand for its electric models, including the popular F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E. With the state's stringent emissions regulations and the appeal of the rebate program, California was once a key market for Ford's electric vehicles, but the cancellation of the rebate has left the company scrambling to adapt to the new landscape.
