In general, hybrids are not included in these incentives? I'm thinking of the Ford Maverick specifically.
We got the $7,500.
If you paid for EV charger installation there's a credit for that as well that a significant number of people aren't aware of.

Also, used EV's can have credits as well. Also, some leases as well.
Some states also have additional credits. I've heard people in Colorado get super deals on some models.
It’s the psychological part. People look at their area and extrapolate it as all encompassing. Your town doesn’t really have many so they must not be common and I’d I drive to a town X far away will I be able to find them. Like i80 in Nevada. You stop at any gas station you see when you hit half a tank because you see several boarded up as you drive.
Which is why the leasing is up on other brands, it’s treated with corporate rules which are more lax.
I took the comment to mean he didn't like to spend lots of money on any vehicle. e.g. If you wanted to pay <$10k for a sedan, there's plenty of ICE that are older in that price range, but not really any EVs yet.
That's generally my preference too, avoid depreciation and buy used. Until I bought a nearly-new 4Runner a couple years ago, I'd never paid more than $17k for a vehicle (12 vehicles over ~30 years).
oh yeah. my territory is michigan to arkansas. ohio to colorado. its insane
Just to play devils advocate, that’s still only 129 miles per day on average.
How often do you drive over 300 miles in a single day?
Also, assuming you got about 20 miles per gallon, at $3.50/gallon gas, you spent about $8000 in gas
Lightning gets about 2.5 miles per kWh.
Google says MidAmerican charges $0.13 per kWh. If I’m doing the math right, that’s about $2000 to charge and drive the Lightning.
Then add in another 5 oil changes for your ICE, at probably at least $100/service.
Not life changing cost differences but $5000+ per year would be nice.
Edit - just saw your follow up. Yah would be tough for you.. ha
The tax credits come and goes over the past few years depending on model but over the past 6 months it was pretty easy to get on most if not all models. There were also some crazy good lease deals on some models but seems to be getting more rare.
Don't want to political cave the thread but I wouldn't wait until 2025 if you really want tax credit if you get what I'm saying and it might be part of why a certain rich guy is doing certain things. The tricky thing is some dealers build the tax credit into advertised price and some do not. Even worse some (Tesla) build $100/month fuel savings into their lease deals and most do not. I'm sure it helps them sell leases to add that fuel savings but for most drivers they're actually going to save quite a bit more than $100/mo on fuel so it's almost misleading in a bad way for EV shoppers.
My longest wait to charge has been 11 min. Dealing with 1 oil change is waiting longer than the entire sum of my waiting for a charge.
Need a dealer that picked up your vehicle and dropped it off for service
I actually live near a fuel cell hydrogen station, pretty sure CA and SoCall specifically are only place they exist and they aren't common here even. When I rarely see someone using it, it'll most often be some sort of industrial vehicle.
