The Nissan Leaf starts under $30k, and the Chevy Bolt starts just over $30k. Assumedly those both end up under $30k with the tax credit extension.

The Ford Lightning is $40k before tax credits: so if it's $32,500 for an electric pickup...

Boy that red wave sure has changed hasn't it? Now dems are actually favored to hold the senate. And with republicans giving the middle finger to vets again I have to wonder if this will actually be a good year for democrats, against all odds.

I am moving into my new home in two weeks. I hope to use an electric golf cart type vehicle for nearly all local travel including voting, grocery shopping, eating out, golfing, banking, some medical appointments and trips to the weapons practice range. I can pay my vehicle registration fees and conduct property tax business at a local kiosk. All connected by cart and recreation paths. This is in a Georgia county with 220,000 residents. When I head to the gulf coast I will be in a compact Lincoln SUV that gets over 35 mpg on the interstates.

I would say "somewhat good" rather than "mostly good". The bill is still inflationary and pork laden. I do see charging time and charger availability as a hinderance to widespread reliance on EVs.
