But don’t criticize those that don’t. There are currently incentives that are available should you choose to purchase an EV. It’s not like the government is handing out cash to people who decide to purchase one. If your paying the premium for a new EV vehicle, there are certain vehicles that can qualify for up to $7500 in rebates towards your taxes at years end. Like it or not, the incentives are there in hopes that more EV’s on the road will help to grow investments in research and the infrastructure around the country in the years to come. The incentives are temporary and have already been reduced as of this past April. Nobody is sending you a check of taxpayers money. We all pay our taxes, and we certainly don’t all agree on how those taxes are used, but it’s not as though we all haven’t benefited from them throughout our lives in some way shape or form. Our taxes subsidize everything this country does, least of your concerns should be a tax incentive on EV’s.
So, so wrong. If you get $7500 in tax rebates, the rest of us have to pay the $7500 that you didn't pay. Or we just add another $7500 to the national debt. My point is that there SHOULDN'T BE ANY TAX REBATE for the type of vehicle YOU CHOOSE to buy. If the average car costs $37,000 and I buy a $750,000 Ferrari, should I get a tax rebate?????? The only reason that a tax rebate is available is because certain powers that be, who by the way stand to make a fortune off this, are pushing this imminent global warming false narrative. I do not subscribe to that lie and do not want to enrich those who are telling the lie.
