Incentives are a funny thing, changing all the time. Yes, some OEMs are phasing out of the Federal Tax Credit. However, other credits are popping up. The State of Oregon just added a $2500 to $5000 EV rebate (yes, rebate - you get the full amount regardless of the taxes you owe). Portland General Electric just added a $3000 rebate on a 2018 or 2019 Nissan Leaf. So today I could get a new Leaf for:
$29,990 MSRP
- $7,500 Federal Tax Credit
- $2,500 State Rebate
- $3,000 PGE Rebate
$16,990
That is less than the 3 year old Volts I've been looking at and only a little bit more than an off-lease Leaf.
The Koreans have some compliance EVs and they have the Hyundai Kona with a 258 mile range for about $37K (minus $10K in rebates / credits)
