Which rebates?

Wife and I tried a Volt, but the rear leg room was horrid. I'm 6'5" and need to put the seat all the way back. Though for $21k by kids can suffer behind me.

Holding out for the Hyundai Ioniq plug-in hybrid. Looked at Prius Primes, but the Toyota dealers here in flyover country are all assholes (to deal with), and they won't stock any.

I have a Leaf, but my wife calls it a golf cart and refuses to drive it due to range anxiety. Thus she wants a plug in hybrid.

It's been a while but it's federal and state rebates. Then dealer sticker + dealer list rebate. farmers guild rebate (500$ and it costs 50$ to register). Then we got 0 down 0% financing.

This was in Santa Clara, CA. At freemont Chevy. I believe they sell the most volts of any dealer in the world.

Federal rebate is 7k, here in CT there's a 3k state rebate, some places get to stack municipality and power company rebates over that, bringing the final prices to incredibly low numbers.

No state rebates here in KS, though the Leaf rebates were $10k from the local power company + $7,500 federal.

Does the new federal tax bill preserve the EV credit? Last I heard it was chopped.

It's fine, I'd be very surprised if it was repealed, automakers would be left very unhappy since it's been shown time and time again, current EV sales are very reliant on those credits, and they're a powerful lobby.
