Currently, if your taxes are under the rebate, your tax incentive is only as good as your taxes are. So if you owe $3k in taxes, you're only getting a $3K tax incentive, regardless of if it's new ($7.5k) or used ($4k).
I'm seeing the government giving us easier access to that $3K… not granting the full 4k or 7.5k. For simplicity's sake, the full rebate is applied at the dealership, but the difference is still due for that year's taxes.
This. You have to get into the head of a soulless capitalist instead of a face value end user.
Typically in those cases, you plug in at work, assuming they offer it.
Alternatively, you might be able to get away with a simple level 1 charger if your apartment has a standard outlet available.
You can talk to your landlord about making changes, but failing that, you probably want a hybrid instead of an EV. Electricity at ‘the pump’, so to speak, can be more expensive than gas and certainly takes longer.
You’re not wrong. You can basically blame why college is so bloody expensive because of student loans. You can be certain the professors aren’t getting all that money.
It’s worth noting that the CNN article doesn’t say what happens if your taxes for the year are lower than the incentive.
I assume you get the full incentive at the dealership, and then are responsible for the difference come tax day.
So if your taxes are… say $4,000 and you buy a new car with the $7,500 rebate. That’s a difference of $3,500 and your taxes become 4K + 3.5K = $7,500 for that year… or so I’m assuming.
$7,500 is for new vehicles. $4,000 is for used. (Must also be 2 manufacturing years old or greater)
Mmm… I can kinda see the argument. DuckDuckGo may not be collecting your info, specifically, but anything remotely loaded certainly is.
Still, shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good.

My local power company is a price gouger… but my state has mandated that we can select our source provider with zero penalties for switching… even between other sources.
It’s not a ton… since the ‘delivery’ fees are straight up highway robbery and not under the control of the outside provider… but it’s still something.
Currently doing research on solar and how much I need to save to afford the up front costs.
I always headcanoned that Rom was very quickly fired after DS9… but I have to admit this episode did an excellent job conveying that with Leeta at his side, he’s got quite good job security. … and wasn’t that the Sense-Ores admiral?
I liked catching up with Marinier’s Ferengi friend from back in S1. Kinda wish they did a little bit more with that plot.
I tend to feel awkward when I see characters acting awkward… to that extent I had a little trouble getting through Tendi and Rutherford’s story. I like them more when they get to be big nerds—which we admittedly had quite a bit of this episode.
Beyond that… I find it interesting that the Parlament class now has a CGI model. Lower Decks traditionally saves the CGI budget for ships that get into combat or major fan service. The Parlament vessel doesn’t really qualify for either in this episode. I wonder if it’s going to be a casualty of the mystery ship later in the season.
Also, did I hear right that the Ferengi Lower Decker was in communication with the mysterious vessel?
According to sources familiar with the matter, production of the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV and 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV is now scheduled to end on December 20th, 2023. Of course, it bears mentioning that this date may change for any number of different reasons, including parts supply issues or the ongoing UAW worker strike.
