    I just tried to look it up an honestly I can’t read governmentese at the necessary level. The batteries have requirements as do the percentage of parts. Max income and max cost also comes into play. It read as if they didn’t want anyone to be able to figure it out without paying an expert. lol

    I am actually reading an econ paper about it. The key to this paper is analyzing the fact that as of 1/1/24, the credit became transferrable to licensed vehicle dealerships at the time of sale. This allows the consumer to immediately reduce the price of the car rather than wait to offset their tax liability. They are seeing how this affects consumer behavior. Super boring.

    Saw a sharp looking Polestar EV the other day. Swedish designed but owned by a Chinese company as I recall. Not cheap tho.
