No, that is not the point I am making. If the Phantom is not electric then there is no tax credit even though it is more expensive than most EVs.

On the other hand, if the owner of the TV Premier Home installs solar panels and reduces the load on the electrical grid then yes, maybe he should be given a tax break. The extra costs he is paying provides some tangible benefit to others (reduced loading leading to extended lifetime) and perhaps that should be rewarded in some minimal way.
Our daughter and son in law just installed solar on their home in May YES subsidies thru St of Connecticut and US Government average bill between $200 to $250 family of 4. June bill received $40 credit, July bill $1.75. Out of pocket just under $10,000.
