So what do you propose for them? No free parking and no free charging? Just keep using gas?
Or do the PHEVs get the charge spots, and the 100% ZEVs have to wait in line for the quick charger on the way out?
I think $7500 of tax credits per 16kwh of battery is plenty, and our thanks of course!
those who dont like it, are not forced to take advantage of the incentives.
in fact, why even claim the tax credit or rebate, for those who find this an unfair or unwise use of government largesse.
Or pick and choose the ones you like, as the poster seems to have chosen to espouse.
for the rest of us:
the reason we have incentives is to increase the likelihood of and reward behaviors that the government and society wants to encourage.
emission-free driving, less use of petroleum products -- to name two.
In some cases, these incentives go away as more and more people adopt the behavior. In some cases, they done -- as in the mortgage deduction and oil depletion credits.
