There is a new bill being drafted in DC concerning energy and climate change. It appears to include a $12,500 subsidy for EVs. But will the wording of subsidy language make the subsidy apply to EV motorcycles and autocycles? Contact your representatives in DC and make your voice heard!
-
Peter, thanks for the heads-up. Can you please provide more specifics so we can reference it in any communications? Does the bill have an official name and number? Senate, House, both?
-
I wish I could, but I can’t find that. After Build Back Better failed, the having to do with energy and climate change topics are being merged (from a few news sources). No identifier that I can find.

This is the closest in time to the present that I can find…

Thanks. In my messages to my representatives I noted that the Aptera vehicles would be reasonably priced, not another Tesla.

Extra Incentives $4500 and $500 for UNION made (IN THE U.S.) EV and Batteries, respectively.
-
There may Be (And I hope there ARE) more legislation in process, but My admittedly Weak Google-Fu could only find this article with Numbers and details.
-
Here is What Washington has already done:
One could hope for some Monetary Incentives to follow in next Legislative Session…
Might be tricky WHEN to take delivery of MY NEW APTERA!

Especially if you have Republican representatives as there is where the opposition to expanding funding for EV subsidies is strongest now. I have two (R) Senators and two (R) Representatives that have expressed their reservations about funding EV subsidies.
I am sure our D.C. Lobbyists are working on this topic and doing a good job but we can help out from the bottom up too.

Is there something new? The credits were part of Biden’s Build Back Better bill which has thankfully been killed.
It’s time for all credits on EVs to be eliminated, they aren’t needed anymore. The problem isn’t demand it’s supply. The wait for a new Tesla is months to a year, Ford dealers are tacking on $30,000 markups on F150 Lightnings. If the government wants to do something to spur EV adoption they should be offering tax credits for building battery plant’s in the US as well as domestic sources of lithium, nickel and cobalt.
-
Perhaps a review of forum guidelines would be a worthwhile exercise for you. There is no place for your political rhetoric here.
-
We’ve been through this before, how is my rhetoric different from your’s? It’s OK to post things that are pro credits but not anti? You’re previous post complains about having Republican representatives, why is that OK if my opposition to credits isn’t? I’ve refrained from mentioning parties or saying anything about my Senators and Congresswomen, you haven’t.

John, I agree with what Joshua said above, Look at your first paragraph 4 posts up. That statement could have easily been made without a party reference, but you chose to make a point on the orientation, it should be a question of the need to convince whoever is in charge of casting a vote in Congress, without regard to the party.
-
Point accepted

How is this not a political statement? All EV incentives should be killed?
-
Of course it’s a political statement. You started an explicitly political thread where you asked everyone to contact their representative to support the bill. You think these incentives are a good idea, that’s fine I support your right to feel that way and to campaign for them, but I think they aren’t necessary anymore and in the case of this particular bill the new incentives are counter productive. Why is it appropriate for you to express your support for a bill but it’s not OK for me to oppose it?
