Here's how Oregon is going to solve climate change.

Introduce a 1% sales tax on vehicle purchases from dealerships; the only sales tax we have. Use that money to offer a $2,500 rebate for those who purchase a new EV. Certain modest income people can get $2,500 for purchasing a used EV, but there's more paperwork involved with that, as you need to prove you don't have any money

In the end, EV prices are a bit higher here than elsewhere because demand is higher because we subsidize EVs.

...and that's why Oregonians don't need to fear climate change anymore. Problem solved.
