2023, what we saw was more than 1 million new electric car. so that was the record for the first time. now sells electric cars are beginning to slow down, but the demand is not going to go away. people still want electric cars, but now they're wondering if maybe hybrids will also work better for them. okay, this walk arounda give us a tour. you surprise me when you said actually cars are cheaper. then they were say a year ago, right? so this is the kia carnival. this is a minivan from kia available as a hybrid. very soon. but the prices that you're talking about, if you look at all these cars last year a year ago and thought, oh, my gosh, they're so expensive. you're right. but new car prices, the transaction prices versus a year ago are down 3.5%. and then there's this walk over here to another section. this is honda. honda wants the state cutting edge as well as all the other automakers. right? this is honda's first fully electric suv. this is the honda prolonged. this is a battery electric vehicle. so whenever you see the letters b e v, that means fully-electric power. no other way be ev is

gallo continues to be a supporter of armstrong. it would like to see him reinstated as the city's police chief citing his ability to bring in extra resources when we needed to reach out to whether it's the fbi or the highway patrol or the county sheriff, he was able to coordinate that and do that reporting the newsroom. i'm rob nesbitt kron. 4 news. >> it's and found 4 is your local election headquarters. proposition b is on the ballot in san francisco. it would create minimum police staffing levels, but it would require the new positions to be paid for with a new tax or revenue. that's outside the general fund. and that's something that supervisor matt dorsey says he's not in favor of. >> it says that it's going to have at minimum police staffing levels. it don't do that without a tax hike. it says that it's going to establish a recruiting fund. it won't do that without a tax hike and it says. that it's going increase but beats and have officers on the street. it won't do any of that

without attacks that this is the most misunderstood measure on the ballot. it is also a measure that implicates the number one issue that san franciscans are facing right now in public safety challenges that was played out yesterday when we saw the latest city people, san franciscans overwhelmingly feel strongly that we need to make progress on police staffing and on public safety. this is a measure that directly implicates that. >> these are some of the results of a city beat paul, that dorsey was talking about. it's an annual poll by the chamber of commerce and find 72% of voters say that san francisco is on the wrong track. and that's only slightly better than 77% recorded last year. only about a 3rd say they feel safe downtown at night. the state capitals also looking at ways have new legislation now to o- address retail theft. and our capitol correspondent eytan wallace takes a closer look at that.

>> well, speaker events as part of this proposal are still in the works, but he and democratic leaders presented an overall framework they believe will combat retail theft. organized retail theft is a problem that we need to tackle. that's exactly what somebody speaker robert reeva says he's aiming to do with new legislation just introduced. >> chair of the assembly, retail theft, select committee, democrat rick chavez burger and chair of the assembly public safety committee. democrat kevin mccarty joined reavis to formally announce the california retail theft reduction act. their description, a comprehensive set of reforms to address the issue of retail crime. well, this group makes clear the legislation is still coming together and will likely include changes following meetings with stakeholders. for now, this is the basic framework. first, the proposal put into law a penalty of prison up to 3 years for those convicted of stealing property with the intent to second, the bill will allow for what's known as aggregation, meaning several thefts committed by

one person can all add up to meet the larger penalty for grand theft. 3rd on the issue of data, transparency, retailers will be required to provide data they've collected 4th. the bill calls for an expansion of diversion rehab programs like drug courts and 5th. the idea is to provide law enforcement with the tools to keep repeat offenders in custody. this package says to organized crime rings, we need business and we're giving law enforcement the tools that they need to shut you down. we won't sweep this issue under the rug. >> and there will be a robust answer dealing with the issue of a retail theft in california, but not included in the bill. a proposal to repeal prop. 47 passed by california voters in 2014. the law change certain nonviolent crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, including theft when the items stolen are valued at less than $950. >> while supporters have long argued the law will help reduce california's prison population and lead to criminal justice reform opponents, including something member tom lackey say emboldened criminals to take

part in certain crimes like retail theft, but little to no punishment from 47 was heavily contributed to the problem. >> and so in order to find a solution to have to first address the problem. and that's front 47 and ahead of friday's bill introduction deadline until we could see at least a dozen other bills on retail theft introduced in the legislature reporting at the state capitol. a tom wallace kron. 4 news. >> it's 10 36 in the south bay, san jose police arrested a man for a shooting that happened at a hotel last month. investigators say fernando macias shot a man at a hotel on north for a 4th street and the victim did have life-threatening injuries but was later stabilized. acs was arrested at a hotel in santa clara on tuesday and now he's in jail on to attempted homicide charges. 10 37. and right now the chp is looking for an suv to find out if a woman is okay and this is

and it's gentle on her skin. tide free & gentle is epa safer choice certified. it's got to be tide.

>> it's important for cal fire is getting 7 new c-one 30 airplanes to help fight fires. riley carroll gives us a look. >> a partnership first started

by the late senator dianne feinstein is now complete after 7. see one. 38 aircraft have been transferred to cal fire from the coast guard. we're grateful to the airforce free after helping expedite that as well the coast guard because they were there. perhaps it's the first time cal fire will have this type of aircraft. the planes will be modified equipped with all the firefighting gear needed before they're ready for service facing the enhances our aerial firefighting capabilities. >> we have extended range. we increase capacity. there's many advantages to part of the goal is to make these monster 155,000 pounds planes streamlined and efficient in an emergency. you know, you can drop 4,000 gallons of return rather than 1200 also returns. obviously. >> you can imagine if based on a different coverage levels, how far that can extend. the planes are being worked on right now sacramento county. 7 aircraft are currently located in the cloud. where they will undergo the modification. take installation. well, it'll take some time to get these planes

ready for flight subsequent deliveries based off the modifications. you know, we have obviously aggressive schedule. so. >> put him in a service, you know, as they come out of out of the cycle, the first one can be expected to take off this fall. >> all right. well, in the meantime, we've got to deal with the rain, not fires right now. that's our biggest threat from mother nature ryden. yeah, never. that would be a >> very short-lived wildfire with these 2 rain systems that are coming through this weekend. this is you're looking at your friday morning right here. lots of cloud cover out there. that's the way it's going to stay for your friday afternoon. friday evening, too. it's a mostly cloudy day, but still very pleasant and notably dry for your friday tomorrow. before you get up in the morning, showers already starting moving in across the bay, mostly moderate during morning hours. heaviest of rainfall tomorrow. that's going to come along during the afternoon. here's 02:00pm right here, marin sonoma, as well as napa lake and mendocino counties

all in the thick of it right after that. 3, 4, on up to 07:08pm, some of the heaviest of rainfall for the rest of us. after 9, it starts to die down, though. and sunday actually starts dry before our next rain maker moves in late sunday on into monday for president's day. let's get perspective on all the system. so the first one that we saw earlier this week that wednesday, is moving to the east of us now in the rockies. second system, the first of the weekend sitting just to our west and then right behind me, they're the 3rd weather maker and that one is going to be the most significant. so these successive fronts, first one of the weekend moves through tomorrow, heaviest of rain in the north bay from this one moves out leaves the way for that 3rd system. second of the weekend to move through and this is the heaviest one round 2 with sunday through tuesday, especially sunday in the later part of the day, seeing that rain picking up quick and seeing that risk of flooding santa cruz mountains could see over 7 inches of rain in a very short period of time. 2 to 5 inches for the rest of the bay area. urban areas

definitely going to be swamped by the time we reach early next week. the sierra nevada also getting a good dose of snow. winter weather advisory in effect starting tomorrow morning through sunday morning. that is going to be just the first system briefly expiring and then a winter storm watch likely to become a warning goes into effect late sunday as an even heavier snow maker makes its way through. that means multiple feet of snowfall at the crest of the sierra and multiple inches on donner summit up to 7 to 9 inches of snow up there. expect delays. hopefully not any closures, though. best travel days will be today and then sunday. if you're heading back on monday for president's day, bring the chains and the extra time. 84% of average in the northern sierra were still lagging behind a little bit on snowpack. but we're going to do a lot of catch-up work this weekend. let's take a look at daytime highs. it is going to be a pleasant one today. sure, we're not tapping into as much sunshine as yesterday, but with the 60's and the dry conditions, this is the most favorable day for any outdoor

activities of the weekend. san jose will be at 68 for your daytime high today. freeman through hayward each at 66 while oakland, right at 64 for your temperatures. north bay temps, some of our coolest in the low 60's this afternoon. still very pleasant. as for the next 7 days tomorrow, going to be cooler windier and of course, weather all day long. sunday starts dry showers return late in the day sunday, presidents day on monday, looking like our very wettest of the forecast tuesday, not far behind wednesday, we start to the drying process by next thursday. you'll ger your sunshine back, daria, ok? well, if you're going out of town, which a lot of people are for the holiday weekend, let's take a peek at gas prices. it is a little more expensive. >> then we had the last time that we had presidents day weekend. so take a look across the state. the average price of gas is $0.10 more than it was a month ago. $0.5 more than it was last week. the most expensive. as you look at the top of the list is napa county and san mateo county

for 74. and just depending on sunday go all the way down to the bottom. and that's where santa clara county and solano county, they seem to have the most >> least not the most reasonable, the least, unreasonable gas prices. they'll find there. >> and speaking of unreasonable, oh, my gosh. if you use all state, california drivers are going to have to pay quite a bit more. the company announced an average 30% price hike for car insurance. and this hike was approved in december. so it's good to go. all state says that accidents and disasters have increased significantly in california in the past few years. and so argued that they needed up their rates to reflect that they got the ok to do that last year. all state paused direct sales of new auto insurance policies made online or by the phone. customers could still have a new policy written through an agent. but just be aware you're going to be paying for it. now. let's talk

basketball. it was a big night for klay thompson as the warriors were looking to bounce back against the utah jazz conference. aaron wilson has the highlights. >> well, the warriors they were in utah on thursday night off a back-to-back, of course, taking on the jay is hoping for a better outcome than wednesday's loss. its chase. now they were open to go into the all-star break on a high note. well, steve kerr did announce earlier in pre-game of the jazz match of the klay thompson would actually coming off. means it was the first time since his rookie season in 2012 that ever done >> it was the clay show from that point on out there worry is up by 3 plate dropped in another 3 that big just a minute later, he's not done playing gets around. looney screen drains another triple from out the the bench is loving every bit of that. but he wasn't done. steel closing moments of the 3rd in kuwait with the pump fake. he sinks his 7th triple of the game. 35 points off the time. look at

things quite as he's driving the boat against the day. >> then drain drops in a couple of his own right there. he had 23 points. 5 assists 4 steals. course. that was a good night for him. a grace that live here come the day is under a minute ago. the warriors led by 3 marketing history will go. but you have get rebounds. john collins, cameras right there and i love the sun is the one point game. this things get a little tricky. 13 seconds left dead. they're scrambling. they get the couple rebounds. this scramble is there. he's looking for someone and colin throws it out of bounds. it was a costly turnover for the and well, a couple free throw some steps put in what 3 you go. a last-ditch effort from com 16 there that will and they will fall. the warriors take the 21 40 to one. 37, as we held on to the edges of our seats and steve kerr got his 5 100th career of is.

>> seasons with the warriors. that's all i have a it back to you all right. thanks. a lot of 52 in the south bay, the santa school district is teaming up with the bay area. panthers, the reigning champions of the indoor football league. they are inspiring the next generation of athletes. the panthers are offering 3 free tickets to san jose students, parents, teachers and staff to games at the sapd center in downtown san jose. the team also declaring their first game this season, march 31st against the arizona rattlers san jose that's what they're calling it. the team is going to work with students and schools and talk to them about the importance of teamwork and doing well in school in their football league's games run through july. it's not over is that it's there's always a sport season for you. get in on kids. 10. 53 and we'll be on kids. 10. 53 and we'll be right back.

>> forget about animals. california could have a new state insect. i think so. i push you know what the state insect is. there's a bill that wanted to be the banana slug. well, that's insect what its officials like. yeah, it's just be it. the state's official slug would it would be an iconic symbol all because of the temperate rainforest. so that's what you know, it's important role for ecological health of california. and that's why we should embrace the been an assault. so you do want to go like i do like banana slyly. love them. you love you know, they teach the kids in school to kids. some that don't do that. i has literally, if did you anyway. so what he's look,

that that look good on a flag all right. check this out for previously unknown underwater mountains. there in the pacific. isn't that cool? schmidt ocean institute made this discovery. >> they plotted the course to examine gravity anomalies. and this is what they found. is that amazing? they are seamounts. they range from 5200 feet to 8700 feet. >> under the water. so they're basically almost i'm there. well, they are like had it. there's the remnants of extinct volcano. so we can hike 1, one day with a scuba suit we're kind of going to be under water weekend. john. we are. we will be hiking through the racist today. not so much, though. today is the one to get out there tomorrow. rain all day sunday starts dry. if you need to get some stuff done sunday night into monday, it's good weather. but you know, it's a big ski weekend. so that's all from us now for to how exactly get the pow pow. we'll see later.
