Replacing the 200k per OEM, with 2 million total and then a similar phase out as exists today. No extra cost, more competition over incentives. Sounds like a plan Republicans would like.
A lot more than 10 years of unlimited tax credits, a maximum voting age and the renaming of the GOP in Grand Old Looser Party.

Postponing the phase-out of tax credit subsidies to avoid penalizing the two American EV producers does seem like an unlikely strategy for the current administration. More likely:
- Impose 50% tariffs on imported EVs (leading to retaliation by the EU, Japan, and Korea, and offshore manufacturing plant by Tesla)
- Drop all federal fuel economy standards; put in place maximum MPG limits
- Launch public-private partnership program to develop clean-coal powered cars and trucks
- Pursue Twitter campaign denouncing "failing company Tesla" and "very low-IQ individual Elon Musk"
- Announce approval of importation agreement for Russian passenger vehicles

Despite the snark tags, I see all of these scenarios as more likely than the new EV bill passing.

Snark aside, "coal powered cars" are EVs. There's actually been some movement in Wyoming about keeping EV incentives, because it helps prop up the coal electric grid. I can't find the reference right now though

Thanks for playing
Even if coal is partially or fully powering a particular grid it's still a matter of economies of scale and those central sources. Any change to a single power source instantly effects ALL EVs in the area. Whether that's reducing the emissions through more efficient systems, carbon sequestration or preferably changing to solar/wind/nuclear/etc. Making a single ICE more fuel-efficient doesn't automatically affect all other ICEs on the road in that area. It's somewhat moot anyway, coal is absolutely going away. It's kind of a done deal given the alternatives that are now cheaper.

why are there so many people who hate people who want fobs like people who hate donald trump? please take time to actually listen and do not dismiss their concerns as if "they're doing it wrong". just because it works perfectly for you doesn't mean it doesn't for others, and it is not always because they're incompetent.
the fanboyism and trolls here, wow...

The real ripoff is the $116B in the annual national cost of illegal immigration . He's legal and I will keep giving him my money!
Just think the EV rebate could be like $232,000 per car on they 500,000 pre ordered model 3's, which would buy them solar roofs, battery backup etc for 500,000 buyers annually.
Or they could give 100% rebates on ~2,500,000 model 3's annually!

Give me some sugar baby
Telsa is owned by a IMMIGRANT! Now he's RIPPING OFF the American public!! SAD!
legal immigrant.
That would be Big Government Interference in our lives.
People should be able to stand on their own two feet, whether they have only one foot, are mentally ill, or have a terminal disease. Come to think of it, stop signs and traffic lights are Big Government Interference. And why should schools be responsible for driver's ed? Why should schools be funded by taxes anyway? Close all the libraries and stop using taxes to maintain roads, sewers, water, and parks. If somebody wants fire or ambulance service they should pay as you go. Why should I pay for these if I don't need them? This is why I voted for Trump and I don't understand what's taking him so long.
Certainly not. Why hasn't he stopped the travesty that is Social inSecurity and Medicare yet?
Looks like ks808 can't decide if he likes it or not.
The Republican senate that blocks anything that's not purely corrupt.

Give me a break and keep the partisan bs out of this thread.
As a former lifelong Republican I can no longer "keep the partisan bs" out of anything. The Republican Party is a sugarshow of corrupt, power hungry, win at all cost, greedy slimeballs. If/when they start acting like responsible adults again I'll "keep the partisan bs out."
