Mayors, industry press Congress to keep electric vehicle rebate in final tax bill

But you don't understand...they don't want to promote the new technology.

 

i hope so, but it will probably fall on deaf ears.

 

Promoting or not actually has nothing to do with them cutting the credits. In order for the Rs to get this passed without votes from the Ds, they had to do the equivalent of checking the couch cushions for spare change. After cutting bigger deductions and credits, they still had to go after the pocket change ones like the plug in credit.

Losing this sucks, but I'd rather see the benefits to students, for medical bills, and deductions for local taxes replaced first.

 

I agree. If only rich people did not need more money.

 

Got a bad feeling about this, more so than last week... so, everyone's purchased their 2017 Primes, right?

 

not me, but if i decide to upgrade down the road, i'm willing to live with the consequences.

 

POLICY:
• A source says House and Senate negotiators have agreed to keep a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles and a wind production tax credit in their final tax bill. (Bloomberg)

 

I will believe it when I see it.

 

We can only hope.

I've been around long enough to feel the same way.

 

Deaf ears? The current party in power doesn't have ANY ears (look at the polls), except for their big $$ donors.
Which is why they're rushing it through, behind closed doors, with NO debate.

(At least back then, both sides were in the room!)

 

And expect to see multiple revisions and flipflops before the fat lady sings guy signs.

 

Green Car Reports also says it will likely stay:

Electric-car tax credit retained in Congressional tax reform bill: report

 

If true, I wonder how that happened. Those putting this thing together are against clean technology.
