It warms my cold black heart hearing that his stalling tactics aren’t working anymore.

While governments can't directly manipulate Lemmy, you should still operate on the assumption that nothing you do here is anonymous.
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.
