2021 Electric or Hybrid Cars w/ Up to $7500 Federal Tax Credit

I do not think there is an income limit for EV federal tax credit. There is a limit for the number of uses per manufacturer. Because it also helps the manufacturer sell more cars it is not fair for one company get the most of the advantage. Tesla has already benefitted from this credit and passed the limit, so if you buy a Tesla you cannot get a federal tax credit. Same for Chevrolet and General motor EV vehicles. Search for "EV federal tax credits" and you will see a link to Fueleconomy (goverment site) with list of cars and federal tax credit eligibility. //@zhengbinx: The federal EV credit has an income limit, right? Also this credit does not equal to the tax refund.

Because those will be released in 2023 //@Anonymous: Why ther is no ID4

Well said. As a fellow EV owner I agree with you. I was literally in turtle mode with 3 miles left after I reach home although I wasn't too scared as I have enough experience on capabilities of the car. Came back home and now I have 80% battery. //@Anonymous: I own a Tesla and a home charger. I also have 2 superchargers and several other DC fast charging stations in my city. For the most part, I really like the car. It's zippy and low on maintenance. But, I strongly suggest that if you are in the market for an electric car, only go with a car that has a minimum of 300 miles rated capacity. If you can't afford it, just don't buy one yet. Batteries lose capacity if you have to park at an airport (especially in winters) and this can be rather annoying for those who need to. Also, you can't really charge batteries to 100% for daily use, just 80%, so your "real" available range for a 300 mile car is 240 miles. And with all the weather and inclines and driving practices, you'll get 220 miles of real world range for daily driving, which is still way more than enough if you have a charger in your city or at home so don't let that number panic you. Just something to keep in mind. For super long trips, absolutely charge it to 100% so your range will jump to 275 ish in real world conditions.

Another thing to note - Tesla superchargers are much faster than other brands and Tesla chargers only work on Teslas. Buy non-Teslas at your own risk.

Totally agree. I want to add that if you only have one car, think twice before you go with an EV. But if you have two cars, I can't think of any reason one of them shouldn't be an EV. //@Anonymous: I own a Tesla and a home charger.

Just so you know, Tesla does not do advertisement. //@anonymous: Doesnt Audi have much better electric cars than Tesla? Tesla has better advertisement and reputation though. //@Anonymous: I own a Tesla and a home charger. I also have 2 superchargers and several other DC fast charging stations in my city.

Ignorance is a fad it will pass(hopefully). I believe in science and we are getting into big trouble with the way we use resources //@anonymous: Electric cars are a fad that will pass

All those Japanese PHEVs are so hard to find. Toyota only sold 3200 copies of RAV4 prime last year. //@anonymous: I have a Honda Clarity PHEV which I recommend. It qualifies for the full $7500 tax credit based on the size of its battery. Most people on the forums are happy with it. It can be driven as a regular hybrid with 40+ mpg or you can charge it and get about 40 miles per charge.

no kid calls it the World Wide Web...its just the Internet. //@anonymous: You’re probably one of those kids who think the “World Wide Web” is going to catch on as well, aren’t you? //@anonymous: Lol, you are so in old generation. Grow up and update yourself //@Anonymous: Electric cars are a fad that will pass

Hydrogen is not free, as a matter of fact expensive compared to gas: 16.6$ per kg. But you get a debit card from manufacturers with 15000$ balance which makes it free for YOU. And your car produces only water ???? //@anonymous: Did you just say hydrogen is FREE? There might be some places offering it but I assure you it is not going to be free or available in that many places.. Just a niche concept at this point - far from practical //@Anonymous: Buy a fuel cell car, takes 5 minutes to fill it up, hydrogen is free, u can drive 300-400 miles in each fill, and u get 8000$ tax credit

Teslas tend to have extremely low depreciation since they dont really release a new car every year...they just make small changes every few months but it really isn't considered a new model. The model s for the most part has been the same for 10 years until the recent interior/exterior update. //@Anonymous: I just care whoever makes the lowest depreciation, I take it.

gas more convenient for now. electric is a 2nd car

not that many hyrdo stations //@Anonymous: Buy a fuel cell car, takes 5 minutes to fill it up, hydrogen is free, u can drive 300-400 miles in each fill, and u get 8000$ tax credit

Whoever said that electric cars as a fad will pass - will probably pass sooner than electric cars do... just saying =)

Did the Leaf finally disappear?

Lol, you are so in old generation. Grow up and update yourself //@Anonymous: Electric cars are a fad that will pass

Tesla vs other ev is like iphone vs other windows ce/mobile phones 17 years ago.
