With subsidies it’s possible to get new electric cars for $20k-25k: that’s how much a Nissan Leaf will end up being for me.

that's about the same price as a well equipped toyota prius or hyundai ioniq

the subsidies are all but gone now.

and with the current political climate in the US, I don't think they'll get revived for a while if ever.

The subsidies are per-manufacturer, for the first 200k units sold. As of June, only Tesla and GM have hit the phase-out threshold. Everyone else still has the full $7.5k credit available.

It's interesting to see Tesla outselling every other manufacturer combined by so much…
