Minnesota is putting the pedal to the metal in the race to electrify its roads. Starting on February 7, eco-conscious drivers in the state can charge up their wallets with rebates of up to $2,500 toward the purchase of an electric vehicle (EV), CBS News Minnesota reports. Rolled out as part of a broader sustainability initiative backed by a titanic $72 billion state budget, the rebates are aimed at sparking a green transportation revolution.
