Electric vehicles are huge here in Georgia. We have state tax breaks on the purchase of EVs that make the vehicles effectively free [1] for many commuters. Anecdotally, one of my coworkers just bought a leaf because of the tax credit.
Guess who wants to stop the state EV tax credit bill? Shouldn't come as a surprise that it's the same dealer lobby [2] mentioned in the Tesla article.

- ctdonath 12y agoI'm one of those anecdotes. Between tax credit and gas savings it's free for a 2 year lease (tech is changing enough you don't want to keep one longer than that; expect a glut of used LEAFs in a couple years). You need some cash flow to make it happen, but net cost is $0.
