(This is unlike other credits where money is taken from taxpayers to give refunds to those who pay $0 in taxes.... a true example of taking from the rich and giving to the poor)
A tax credit is still money taken from the expected income tax to be collected. It is still giving rich people government money for purchasing an electric car.
Not all low income people pay $0 in taxes. As I said, if you want to have a virtue signaling electric car, pay the full price.
