    Seems like EV incentives would be a great help for a purchaser like you. As long as EVs are a niche product for the motivated few, there won’t be much of as used market. The fastest way to develop a healthy used market is higher growth for new cars, then wait a few years. Incentives goose the market for new, but also lay the groundwork for a larger used car market in a few years

      I suppose ur right about that. Of all the things for me to complain about my tax money going to, EV incentives should be pretty low on the list lol.

        Our tax money goes toward an almost infinite number of places and no one agrees with all of them, but speeding up the transition to a modern economy based on renewable energy, bringing both existing companies and customers along, should be a positive thing for most people.

        For me, it’s right up there with feeding the starving, reducing poverty, public health, intervening in medical disasters, maintaining a solid safety net for all citizens
