Find the political hate on here frustrating
Not sure that would move the needle in the least
Like the moves to city council you may dislike the way they went about it but the majority of people in the province agree with the results. As some politicians were collateral damage yesterday, the 1000 (or whatever amount) of us who got caught in limbo were the casualties in EHVIP cancelation
I think the most effective thing at this point would be to push feds to include an electric rebate/incentive in their federal program. Realistically a program like this should’ve been done federally in the first place. The big thing is if we can convince feds to include retroactive anyone who purchased a vehicle in 2018 fiscal that didn’t already receive an incentive.
I agree with everything you say, @Abrew2014.
If the Feds did deliver on their environmental soapbox promise and provided a rebate, I think Tesla June 2018 onwards buyers (like me) would probably fall through the cracks. Why? Because we bought an EV (or turned down a refund) without a rebate, so why do we need a rebate to buy an EV instead of an ICE? We just did. Giving us buyers a rebate retroactively would IMHO be a bit ridiculous from a tax fairness or EV promotion standpoint. I like free handouts as much the next, but not if they're a wasteful use of tax dollars.
