Beginning in 2024, everyone under the income limit qualifies for the full $7,500 rebate. It does not matter if you owe less than that in taxes, and you can get it at the time of purchase instead of waiting for next year's taxes.

edit: For clarification from the wiki: "The tax credit is not refundable, which means one must have federal tax due to take advantage of it. If the tax due is less than the credit amount, one can only claim the credit up to the amount of the tax due."
So lower income people will not get a $7500 refund, it depends on your liability. i.e. A SDer responded about a student being angry in a previous thread that they only got $500 back and not $7500.
Virtually all of the ICE vehicle can be recycled. Generally the only items not recyclable per se will be interior trim - it's mixed plastic and rubber. Engine? steel or aluminum. Gearcases? Steel or aluminum. Body, frame, etc, steel or aluminum. In fact, about 86% of a car can be recycled [recyclenation.com].
Meanwhile your EV will still have a fully and readily recyclable frame and body, just like the ICE. The motor will generally be recyclable. The battery? Not really. Generally batteries and battery packs are not really designed for recycling. Most are just thousands of individual cylindrical cells, that themselves are spiral wound multilayer structures. There's no easy way to separate the materials here. An ICE, you literally rip out the engine with heavy equipment and include it in with any other steel or aluminum - the process is astonishingly easy and quick [youtube.com] with heavy equipment.
Meanwhile, the batteries are generally just shredded [ucsusa.org]. The resulting material is called "black mass" and is placed into a bath of caustic chemicals to leech out the *important* elements. In certain cases, that black mass is first incinerated to burn off plastic and epoxies. Yeah that sounds super efficient and environmental to me.

Because that's where like 99% of EV charging is done.
The average American drives between 10 and 30 miles a day.
Public chargers aren't needed at all except for long road trips if you can charge at home.
29 kWh per day is the national average.
3 times that is 87 kWh.
Most EVs get 3-4 miles of range per kwh.
So that's 261-348 miles of range with the amount of power you cite.
Again, at the HIGH end the average American drives 30 miles per day.
Meaning they need roughly ten times less energy to recharge each day as you suggest.

- from what I know you do not qualify for state rebate in that case. Someone else here can confirm that as well.
If only tesla had the smoothness of a Toyota, well soon or later will have to change.
I mean it's a great invention and all the gas oil changes no more but that thing feels like an overpriced go cart. But it has monopoly in charging stations.
If Elon can bring its driving quality to Toyota level then your stock price is sure the true reflection.

You're doing your Tesla trolling in the Chevy thread my dude
To be fair, the bolt weighs about 25% more than the civic does.

Unless your kids turn 18 this year and you can no longer deduct them for your 2023 taxes, the only way to get a higher tax liability is to work more or get a 2nd job and it will be totally federal tax free until you reach a federal tax liability of $7,500.
