It looks like Gov JB should sign the new Illinois Green Energy Bill. I looked over the couple pages about EV rebates and noticed a few things.

1. The $4,000 rebate applies to vehicles sold after July 1, 2022. (Won't this really hurt EV sales from now until July 1, 2022? I was planning on buying, but I guess I will wait.)
2. There is an article that mentions that this rebate may only be for Chicago and the surrounding area. (I'm in Central Illinois - this would be complete BS if it is not state-wide.)
If the revised Federal EV tax credit passes by the end of the year, we could be looking at $11,500 in rebates for purchasing a Tesla.
Thoughts? Anyone have any additional information on the topic?
Thanks,
Josh
