A car is not an investment, never has been. Somehow we were sold EV tax credits as a green infrastructure investment. Say the life of an EV at 10 years, the US gives tens billions in tax credits for a consumer good that will likely only provide 10 years of benefit and then become trash. Somehow these credits were supposed to kick-off a new American industry. What the industry is telling us, is demand isn't there even with the tax credits. There was never sound economics or environmental benefits behind this legislation. It was to create consumer spending and boost GDP, that's it.
Which Electric Cars Keep Their Tax Credit for 2024? The Treasury Department’s official list of eligible vehicles shows that the following vehicles qualify for a full $7,500 tax credit if placed in service between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 of 2024: Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV (2022 and 2023 model years, MSRP $55,000 or below) Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid PHEV (2022 through 2024 model years, MSRP $80,000 or below) Ford F-150 Lightning (2022 through 2024 model years, MSRP $80,000 or below) Tesla Model 3 Performance (2023 and 2024 model years, MSRP $55,000 or below) Tesla Model X Long Range (2023 and 2024 model years, MSRP $80,000 or below) Tesla Model Y All-Wheel Drive (2023 and 2024 model years, MSRP $80,000 or below); Performance (2023 and 2024 model years, MSRP $80,000 or below); and Rear-Wheel Drive (2024 model year only, MSRP $80,000 or below) just in case anyone watching this wanted to know which EV's qualify for the $7500 tax credit for 2024 *according to consumer reports
Why aren't any of the necessary components purchased from these rouge countries being produced here in America? Cause of greed. Companies will not pay a standard fair wage, nor will they want to take the necessary environmental protections we require to manufacture in America. Offshoring of American manufacturing will continue to be the norm until we as consumers speak with our wallets. Buy from companies that share your values.
yes and no....that's just one reason. one. we mine in USA, but the area of mining to civilization is disproportionate,too many people, most out of country mining takes place faw away from civilization or just uproots mini tribes...good luck doing that in america. 2. you surely must be aware that not everywhere has the same amount of everything in the same depth if at all right? some material we might not even have in the usa,another we do but very little and it's too deep. there's more than just cheap labor involved.
Chinese automaker Geely Automotive owns Volvo, which will introduce the Chinese rebranded Volvo XC30. As a carrot for Sweden joining NATO, they don't have tariffs on their products to the US. In addition, European legacy automakers will be making their vehicles in China as well by partnering with Chinese companies on software technology. China has surpassed Japan as the largest exporter of vehicles in 2023 and 2024. As for BYD, they are already making buses and trucks in California. Tesla is already lowering the price of their vehicles which will make the $7500 credit moot. In addition, some states have more generous rebates than the federal government.
I live on a busy residential street in Florida and I've never seen so many Electric bicycles going up and down the road. Electric transportation is the future. Bye-bye gas guzzlers
ok? i still wouldn't take an ev even if it was free AND they paid me 7k to take it. between crashes,flooding, battery replacement, etc etc...hard pass,I'd sooner suck on gas.
Toyota was right when they said hybrids are the way to go

BYD makes and sells transit busses in the US since 2012, 1/2 in California.
Only 7% of sales last year was electric vehicles.....nobody cares
I just bought a gas powered 2023 Mustang Ecoboost with the active exhaust
This video should be taken down. You know why.
Maybe they should figure out why so many electric cars are exploding and burning down garages and houses
My neighbors gas powered Jeep burnt down his garage

This is a Biden joke.
