Yes, obviously.BA trucks and SUVs are what people already are buying.
This encourages them to get electric ones instead (and encourages more car makers to offer more electrified ones too since they can charge more for them and still qualify)
Someone who wants an Escalade isn't gonna buy a sedan instead just to save a few grand on a credit.
But why shouldn't someone getting an electric Maybach or Model S get the same credit? It's for the environment & for the economy!
I know the bill is about more than just environmental protection, but it should be half credit fixed and the other half as -x$ for every digit below 150MPGe. And a common max car price.
Likewise the union provision should just spell out the 'living wage' & 'social benefits' requirements provided by the union and let everyone exceeding those benefit.
But then that would be logical, not political...
