Yes on clean air!

 

EVA supports California Proposition 30

By Guy Hall, Director and Policy Committee Chair, Electric Vehicle Association

 
 

The Electric Vehicle Association (EVA) concurs with the action alerts sent by the Union of Concerned Scientists and others in support of California’s Proposition 30, the Clean Cars and Clean Air Act.

The EVA advocates for the rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) to tackle climate change, the world’s most formidable challenge. We know that climate change is causing prolonged droughts, extreme weather events, and increasingly catastrophic wildfires that cost lives, destroy property, ruin our air quality, and damage public health.

Climate change in California is not a future threat; we are already dealing with a devastating drought and destructive wildfires. We need to slow global warming, and to do so we must greatly reduce emissions from passenger cars and trucks.

There is an urgency to fighting the climate change war. In supporting Prop 30, the EVA is joining similar actions across the country, in Europe, and in China.  

Prop 30 is critical for California

Passing this proposition will provide:

  • $20B to fight and prevent catastrophic wildfires

  • $35B to expand Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) charging/fueling for cars, trucks, school buses, and more.

  • $45B to make ZEVs more affordable for consumers, cities, etc…

The EVA rejects the argument that Prop 30 is a gift to Lyft. In fact, no funds will go to Lyft. Prop 30 will provide incentives to low and middle income ride share drivers, such as those working for Lyft and Uber, to replace their gas vehicles with ZEVs.

#Prop30 was drafted by environmental groups, firefighters, and labor organizations, to fight the two largest sources of air pollution. 

Vote YES to protect California, improve air quality and public health, and support EV adoption!
