Well the price of Teslas is going to effectively increase by $3750 when that credit gets eliminated beginning of next year. I expect sales will be extremely soft in the US market beginning in July when the credit is practically gone. Chevy Bolt sales will plummet right about now.

That leaves Nissan with a full credit, and a handful of Korean cars that will be made in low volume for select markets.

Perhaps I'll get a new 40 kWh Leaf just before the first tax credit reduction hits. My current priority is to get out of this apartment so I have a place to charge.
