[Press release] EAST LOS ANGELES – Community members joined Senate President pro Tempore-elect Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) today to learn about how electric vehicles can reduce air pollution, improve health and save working families money in communities throughout California that are disproportionately impacted by air pollution.
The Electric Vehicle Fair, held in conjunction with a Senior Health Fair hosted by White Memorial Medical Center, provided many community members with a first-time opportunity to check out electric cars and learn about rebate, loan and financing options, as well as to learn about electric trucks and buses, and to envision a clean air future for East Los Angeles.
“To clean up our dirty air, we need to make electric cars more accessible for our middle- and low-income families, not just the wealthy,” said Senator De León. “By increasing targeted rebate, loan and carpooling/van sharing programs, California can lead the way for a cleaner and healthier environment.”
