An Open Letter
To: Gov. Newsom
From: A verified voter in Hawthorne, CA
November 27
I applaud your effort to extend the federal EV tax credit in California. I am a proud EV owner and I know my next car will also be an EV. I also applaud your stance to exclude Tesla. I worry about Tesla’s undue influence in the next administration and the potential for an EV monopoly. Rivian, Hyandai, Honda, and Toyota all have US headquarters or major offices in Southern California. They employ tens of thousands of people and make sound EVs. I love seeing an EV market that is competitive and innovation driven. Please don’t let Tesla become the only option.
