The state of Washington’s about to test drive a new rebate program, aimed at getting people to buy an electric vehicle, instead of gas.One in five, or about 20% of all vehicles sold last year were electric or hybrid - according to car manufacturers.“It’s difficult to find a drawback except the purchase price,” Governor Jay Inslee told KOMO News, when talking about the state’s new rebate program for electric vehicles .
“To be honest, still some skepticism from communities of color, from low income communities, on whether or not this product is really available for them And the rebate hopefully is a seamless and as smooth as possible for folks,” said Fong. The governor told KOMO he’s been driving a Bolt for some time and he said State Patrol has a Ford Mustang EV.
