I was thinking of my parents that might make $12k/yr, but have IRAs they could convert to Roth to boost their tax liability. Get the low income credit because they have low income, but artificially increase federal liability for the 1 year they purchase the vehicle.
Too late to work this out for Chevy, but if Nissan prices get crazy low as their credit enters phase out, that might work. The 40 kW version should go lower in price than Chevy considering the 20 kW less battery. I assume the Nissan is cheaper to manufacture too since they didn't put in active thermal management.
Too bad I'm in the house hunting mode; otherwise I'd have considered a Model 3 base. Would be ~$26k here in Oregon after credits.
