California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a massive $1 billion electric truck subsidy program Wednesday, just one day before his budget presentation, prompting critics to accuse the Democrat of forcing taxpayers to bankroll an industry that still can’t stand on its own. The new California Clean Fuel Reward program will hand out rebates ranging from $7,500 to a staggering $120,000 for electric semis, delivery vans, box trucks and other commercial vehicles as the state doubles down on its aggressive green-energy agenda.
