Title: EV federal car tax rebate may be axed
Post by: Richard230 on December 10, 2017, 05:31:51 PM

According to an article in my newspaper today, the federal EV tax credit, which apparently already doesn't apply to motorcycles, is on the chopping block. The $7,500 EV car credit remains in the Senate version of the new tax bill, but the House version nixes it.   >:( So now it will be up to the "conference committee" to decide whether you can take the credit next year or not.  If not, as the article mentioned, a lot of people will likely decide that buying an EV car is just too expensive and go with IC, instead.   :(  Stay tuned.

I could support this measure if it wasnt completely one-sided. There are a lot of tax breaks big energy enjoys that obfuscate the true price of a gallon of gas. Those would need to also go away for me to support this. The credit was designed to be phased out anyway.

I think we all know that the worst thing the EV tax credit program has going for it is that (some) people THINK it was a product of the Obama administration...
