Yes. This happens with alot of subsidies but how would you determine what a person should receive?

People could have multiple children, debt, sick relatives, etc.

Maybe that 300k person in Nebraska had 20 kids or something. Using the area as a measurement is complex

If it's truly an incentive, incentivize everyone. I know people who make $1 million/year who will argue over $10. $7500 would absolutely affect their behavior even though they can afford an EV without it.
