And I imagine that Big Oil would not. IMHO if it's a tax benefit to them, it's a tax benefit to them. Just like if I chose to take the tax break it would be a tax benefit to me. I would imagine that WSJ does not include themselves in this accusation.

Raza, I haven't been on for a while... I ended up buying. I wasn't sure whether I was going to buy or lease until I got the call that it was available and then I decided right then and there that I would buy it. I went with my credit union and got 2.49% for 5 years. They offered to match it...

Raza, There is a form on the DMV website that you can fill out and send to the DMV. In my case that resulted in the dealer sending a check to the credit union that holds my loan. It seems that the dealers in Maryland are not all on the same page as to how this should work. My dealer, Darcars...

In all this talk about whether warming the battery before driving helps with range, I haven't noticed a discussion about warming the battery before charging. The owner's manual states That statement would seem to indicate that the temperature of the battery at the time of charging is also a...

Today my credit union got a check for $1,989.11 :? I called the dealer to find out why it wasn't the full $2,000 and they just didn't get it. They were saying that the credit is used to reduce the purchase price of the car and after that is done you pay tax on the remaining amount as long as...

By timing it just right. I do apply the brakes right at the end just to come to a complete stop, so I guess I mis-stated it in my post. But I'm not sure if it would keep going or not if I didn't. I'll have to check that out. The main point, though, is that almost all of my braking is done with...

I do find myself concerned about this. I'm often being tailgated (around here, people will tailgate closer than one car length while going freeway speeds). If I'm in ECO and take my foot off the accelerator (say because of a slow-down in front of me), there is a real possibility of me getting...

No typo. I was on the original reservation list (reserved it the first day reservations opened up) but was not able to get it until a few weeks ago. The car was not available in this area until just recently. A long wait but just happy to be able to buy a production EV that so far has met all of...

You can also lock the charger with a padlock. There's a hole on the J1772 plug for that.

I certainly hope it works, because that's the route I'm going. There is a form to fill out and send in to the MVA so based on that I would think there is a provision for directly paying the car owner. But by all means if it works out for you then get the rebate from the dealer - that would be an...

My dealer had no clue either. I paid it out of pocket and have submitted form VR-334 to the DMV. I'll let you know how it goes. I sent out the form Tuesday. I did see a website that said the dealer should have the HOV sticker for you and that they should help you fill out the excise tax form. It...

Now if we could just get them to do the same with the oil subsidy...

Thanks for all the replies. I have CFLs throughout our house for every lamp except maybe one or two. I just never got around to doing these because they were working and I don't really have a way to get to them - no step ladder that is tall enough.

I just had my charger installed (the Schneider one) and was charging my car for the first time last night. I went out to the garage in the middle of the charge and when I turned on the lights for the garage, the incandescent light bulb above the car blew out. The bulb itself didn't burst but...

Dave, I asked my dealer about this when I got the car and they said I needed to apply for it. I didn't really have a problem with it because I already knew where to get the form. Interesting that they decided to take it off the price of the car. I paid it out of pocket and will wait for the...

Mine originally said December 10 then was changed right before that to pending. I called my dealer in a panic thinking it had been delayed but she tracked down the actual car and said it was sitting in the port in Newport News. She also told me that Nissan was changing the delivery dates to...

hodad66, I got the same email. They make it sound like the only option is a lease. Did you read it that way too? I'm only saying that because they didn't indicate the MSRP in the email.
