For me, our 5 year old gas vehicle is perfectly fine for many many years. And at our tax rate cannot use any Tax Credit to lower price. But if our situation changed I would consider.

Electric Vehicles (cars)?? A lot of Villagers dumped their Electric Golf Carts and went over to Gas Golf Carts for the same reasons people are not buying EV's. EV's may be good for short trips and require less maintenance and only if you are charging them at home. In reality EV's are not for long distance driving. When was the last time you saw a charging station? By the way charging stations are not free!! I recently read that "you should not charge your EV in your garage" they are worried about a fire?? Do you have any idea how much electric it would take to do a quick charge on a EV. You would require a very high output charging station / cord using a lot of amps/watts. A small charger would takes hours of charging. Hope you dont need that vehicle in a hurry with a low charged battery? I could never understand why dont they install Solar Panels on these cars so when you are parked in a shopping center, driveway, or at the beach the batteries could be charging up?? I guess solar panels are not pretty.
