CA bill would make up for federal electric-car incentives as they expire

The state of California has a long track record of supporting electric cars and doing everything possible to ensure plug-in vehicles can be obtained by the largest number of drivers.

Aside from the federal income-tax credits available nationally, the state of California has its own purchase rebates. Local utilities have also begun to incentivize electric cars.

However, state and local credits don't match the hefty $7,500 credit offered by the U.S. federal government—and that will be phased out for each maker that sells 200,000 plug-in cars.

Nick Tragianis: In the realm of affordable hybrids, the Toyota Prius is pretty much the de-facto choice – and for a good reason. The quirks aren’t for everyone, but the Prius is exceptionally reliable and gifted at delivering stellar fuel economy. Plus, it’s available in a few different flavours – there’s the standard variant and a plug-in hybrid, plus the compact Prius C and the roomier Prius V.

Naturally, it’s hardly a surprise the Prius has seen its fair share of challengers – the most recent ones from two Korean upstarts: Hyundai and Kia.
