This is a dumb decision. I thought limiting the amount of sales tax exempted to $35,000 was actually a good proposal, but this version's hard cutoff just seems patently unfair. The point of these subsidies are not to help someone afford a car. There are (and will continue to be for quite some time) far cheaper ways of getting around than in an EV. The goal has always clearly been to get someone who is deciding which car to buy to lean towards purchasing an EV. It shouldn't matter if that person is considering a Leaf vs a Versa or a Tesla vs a Mercedes. Each decision towards an EV should be encouraged. It's not as if someone who can afford a $35,000 car suddenly can buy whatever they want and loses all regard for value. I just hope they change their mind before the Model 3 comes out.
