Pretty much how I feel. I'd be happy with some progressive tax plans that would for instance, not tax staple food items (not to include junk food) and allow the first $500 (or some reasonable number) of rent/mortgage payments to be tax free.
I argue that the federal tax credit schemes as implemented may have set back EV progress, not accelerated it. Having a short term incentive and uncertainty in renewal of such schemes makes it difficult for companies to decide what the right EV exposure is.
Big players like Toyota have not been compelled to make a strong EV showing, so that says something about the state of the technology and consumer preference.
