    @KLB this article references the money beyond tax credits EV’s are receiving.


    “In the last four years, the federal government and Michigan have offered billions of dollars to boost EV production and extend the charging network, including $1.8 billion to Ford Motor Company’s Marshall EV plant, $824 million to General Motors, and $715 million to Gotion.”

    Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has said the subsidies will help Michigan and the Big Three automakers create millions of affordable EVs.

    “The U.S. Department of Energy announced more than $131 million for projects to advance research and development in electric vehicle batteries and charging systems.”

    Southfield EV project nabs $60M for battery research

    The funding aims to extend the range of EVs – a barrier to adoption along with a sparse charging network and expensive upfront cost, opponents say.

    You Can't Make This Up: Biden Regime Designates Martha's Vineyard as "Low-Income" Community to Qualify for Federal EV Charger Tax Credits | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft

    In an unexpected twist to the Biden regime’s environmental policy, affluent areas, including Martha’s Vineyard, Montauk, and parts of Nantucket, have been designated as “low-income” communities, making them eligible for federal tax credits for electric vehicle (EV) charger installations, Daily...

    That's misleading. Most of the country qualifies, including me. Thanks!

    An eligible census tract is a population census tract that is a low-income community as described in section 45D(e) or that is not an urban area

    You realize that is not a moral position on the Koreans part, but was a sop to the unions and that the Koreans announced they are building production to be able to get back to the table for the government largess.

    Heck, they even threatened to sue to get the federal money.

    “Kia and its parent company, Hyundai, had threatened legal action against the US over what they see as a “discriminatory” policy.”

    www.theverge.com

    Kia plans to build EVs in the US to comply with new federal tax credit

    The Inflation Reduction Act affects other EV automakers as well.

    LOL.

    An incentive to get them to build a plant.

    It's funny you feel this need to prove I somehow received government incentive money when I bought my car.
    Click to expand...
    I am proving the company that built your car did, does, and is trying, to get more taxpayer money. As if I recall correctly you were trying to say no government money went in your car. The whole EV thing would not exist in any significant way without government money. As pointed out here many times, even with, probably TRILLIONS spent by governments it still is losing in reality and perception…

    Yep... parts for Hybrids are expensive..

    We own a 2011 Prius. Absolutely trouble free up until now. I started getting intermittent ABS and Traction lights on my dash.

    I stopped at Knapps Auto Repair in Newburgh and they ran a diagnostic scan on it and results came back as an "abnormal leak ACC".

    Did some research and found this ..

    www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2010-2015-toyota-prius-and-prius-phv-coverage-brake-booster-pump-assemblies-csp-zjb.1391/

    Toyota had an "extended warranty" (should have been a recall as it is BRAKES related - Going is an option. Stopping is not) on these parts, but it was only good for 10 years since first use or 150,000 miles whichever came first - My First use was 12/29/2011 but the vehicle only has 94,000 miles on it. So much for babying it.

    Some folks on the net said it is a $2,500 to $3,000 cost?
    ???
    :'(
    They say it takes special equipment that only Toyota has?.

    Gonna call Kenny Kent Toyota in Evansville and Toyota Customer Service Monday and see what is what.

    Of course. The fact the other car manufacturers are tempering their EV production plans in combination with reported softening demand, we’ll see if this is a blip or the beginning of a trend. No doubt there will be some market for those things. Without government’s thumb on the scale, making ICEs prohibitively and artificially expensive, that market has a much lower ceiling than the climate change cultists would have us believe. IMHO.

    The Great Reset Didn’t Work: The Case of EVs – The Daily Sceptic

    The bottom has fallen out of the EV market as consumers wake up to the drawbacks. Jeffrey Tucker argues that behind the boom was the illusion created by lockdown that EVs were paradigmatic of the 'Great Reset'.

    Yep.

    “In short, the illusions of these horrible policies have come crashing down. It was born of liberty-wrecking policies under the cover of virus control. Every special interest seized the day, including a new generation of industrialists seeking to displace the old ones by force.

    More and more, it’s obvious what a disaster this was. And yet no one has apologised. Hardly anyone has admitted error. The big shots who wrecked the world are still in power.”

    I know Ford and GM have been building huge plants to comply with these mandates. It will be interesting to see the ripple effects of this Biden boondoggle will have across the industry.

    The more likely reason.
    The plan is also said to be an election ploy as Democrats fear losing the support of automakers and labor union
