Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed the Climate Equitable Jobs Act four years ago .

It aims to decarbonize the power sector, propping up electric vehicles, and fast-tracking a clean energy workforce.

With a presidential administration that doesn't believe in climate change, the clock is ticking.

The centerpiece of the plan was a $ 4,000 rebate for customers with the purchase of a new or used EV .

Funding for the rebate program has been insufficient to meet demand each year since launch.

Today , more than 7 million passenger vehicles run in Illinois , the vast majority gas-powered.
