It wouldn't be hard to create a system that checks to see if a car is sold within 2 years - all that date is in the DMV database. The question is if it makes sense to spend the money to administer such a program. I really doubt it would.

As to snatching the money back - that would likely happen in the next year's income tax filing.
I was commenting on the Oregon used EV program. I haven't even fully read through the federal program since it's not a thing yet. If it becomes a thing, I'll get into the specifics of how it works. In the meantime, I'll harshly criticize the thing I don't understand yet, because I don't need to know the particulars to know it's fatally flawed.
