Speculation of softening sales for Tesla and GM in the US as the federal credit phases out. Nissan is close behind.
Tesla has a few more levers it can pull to keep sales up through 2019 such opening up lease options, releasing different trim levels, and possible price reductions. Tesla already reduced the Model 3 price by $3k in response to the credit getting cut in half.
The Chevy Bolt will practically disappear once the credit phases out.
Yes, Oregon has a used EV credit of up to $5,000 ($2,500 + $2,500). The trick is having enough tax liability while still falling into a modest income bracket to qualify for the other $2,500. I'm not even sure if it's possible to double-dip. Quick math says a single person would need to make about $65,000 to have enough tax liability, but that might be too much to qualify for the modest income incentive.
