California's new $3,500 tax credit for drivers switching to electric vehicles has seen an immediate surge in demand. Tesla, one of the first automakers to participate, exhausted its allocation in just five days.

LAist explains how the rebate works, but does not specify the criteria for additional automakers to participate. The program, dubbed MyFirstEV, aims to incentivize the adoption of electric vehicles.

The state's push for zero-emission vehicles continues, with the program set to expand as more automakers are integrated.
