Re: EV Market Impact: How Are Electric Vehicles Performing Without Federal Tax Credit?

I still think you're all underestimating how much the credit mattered to consumer psychology. People see $7,500 off the sticker price and it feels like they're getting a deal. Without it, even if the total cost of ownership is better, the psychologically perceived value drops.

Re: EV Market Impact: How Are Electric Vehicles Performing Without Federal Tax Credit?

I disagree with the notion that the credit doesn't matter. For middle-income families, that $7,500 was the difference between affording a new EV or not. Now we're seeing used EV prices drop because demand is falling. This credit situation is a real problem for EV adoption.

Re: 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Price Jump: $7300 More Than Gas Model

I disagree with the skeptics here. Battery technology is so much better now, and Kia's warranty covers the hybrid battery for 10 years. That changes the equation significantly.

People need to stop focusing only on fuel economy. The Telluride Hybrid is smoother, quieter, and has better torque from the electric motors. Those are real benefits beyond just MPG.
