California lawmakers propose an EV opportunity zone in Riverside County's Inland Empire to boost electric car manufacturing, infrastructure, and job opportunities. Assemblymember Corey Jackson's bill aims to expand training and education for EV technicians and engineers, benefiting mechanics, electricians, welders, and software developers. Offering business loans, tax credits, and grants to EV manufacturers, the plan targets lower-income and middle-class communities. Advocates believe the EV zone will help retain skilled workers by offering well-paying trade and technical jobs.
