Hey, don't forget to mention Ontario when you post about the idiocy of EVIP amendments...if you don't mention the substandard, illogical efforts of the Ontario Provincial guv, they're liable to feel left out...:wink:
Agreed - I made similar point elsewhere about discrepancy between the luxury tax threshold and this otherwise arbitrary $77k cutoff which clearly targets Tesla specifically. If they're going to target "rich people", well they already have that other "luxury tax" threshold, and some of those other EVs would be excluded from the rebate too. So instead I think this $77k number is more than just suspect...
BTW, I just noticed in Bjorn's latest video, he reviews the BMW i3 and mentions that in Norway the i3 with the ICE range extender isn't eligible for EV incentives there (about 5min into the video). We all know how successful EV adoption is in Norway. Why is BC playing favourites, excluding Tesla yet giving incentives to other cars which still burn gasoline? Doesn't make sense if getting rid of fossil fuels is the goal (vs creating a policy that makes the politicians look good by not 'giving dollars to the rich')
