The tax credit in the USA would end December 31st, 2025. Here’s what that means.

TL;DR: EV cars & SUVs will face an average 16% effective price increase, with the lowest cost model up more than 28%, if the law goes into effect as written.

Yes, because it’s the lack of knobs and buttons making EVs expensive. /s

No, unnecessary tech and luxury features make evs expensive. They're marketed as luxury cars.

I was wondering if automakers thought the market would be shinking to an untenable point. Perhaps then they would decide to pivot and market them to a larger, lower income market. That would like include said knobs.
