This week, Gov. Jay Inslee announced $45 million in subsidies through a Department of Commerce grant program for families deemed “low-income” to purchase an EV.

“Washingtonians really get it when it comes to electric vehicles,” Inslee said at a Wednesday news conference in Tukwila.

The program provides up to $9,000 for families to lease an EV, or $5,000 to purchase one. The grant program allows them to purchase either new or used EVs. The funding would be available to those who make 300% of the federal poverty level or less. And the grant will only stretch to about 9,000 people, if they all take the $5,000 deal being offered, or 5,000 people taking the $9,000 deal.

Inslee described it as a way to “democratize EVs. We’re not stopping here. We want to help the entire ecosystem, if you will, of electrifying our transportation fleet. We expect there are going to be a lot of folks that are going to be enjoying this benefit.”



An $9k credit if you lease for 3 years on top of the fed $7,500. Gonna be a lot of Tesla in WA.

Next is taxpayer subsided charging in section 8 and they will be free of charge fill ups........5 min after install......Copper harvesting time!

No charging worries, after the grift I doubt if 25% of that 45 million will be available to the "poors".

And what will the fucking poor do when they see their electric bills necessarily skyrocket due to having to charge the electric door stops?

Should have seen this coming

No one can afford them, so they will simply print money to buy them for poor folk which will cause more inflation that will put even more people in the poor house.

Guy lives in a Section 8 house with a new Tesla parked in his driveway.
All free paid by the American tax payer.
No wonder illegals are flooding across our border.

There won't be an electric car in every low income driveway. There will be a rusting hulk in every driveway as the cars are stripped and sold off.

Meanwhile in the PNW, hydro dams and their electric generators are being dismantled (save the salmon) and the electric grid is shrinking. We are on the edge of brown/black outs this sort of nonsense from Inslee will only make things worse. All those electric cars but no charging stations/outlets and not enough electricity anyways.

Only thing more stupid than Inslee are our voters who elected him.
