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.

And when you say future? Are you talking about next 5 to 10 years or longer?
Are companies actually developing this technology?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank EridianJoe
1) everyone go back and edit their posts from "dealer" and "dealership(s)" to "STEALERSHIP(S)"
2) now and henceforth refer to them as "stealership(s)"
the stealership model is obviously corrupt and broken. let's call it for what it is.
Also, can someone with multiple EVs in the same neighborhood/block report back in 6 months on the number of times their transformers have blown?
small sample size: neighbor works for power company. owns EV (tesla S then Bolt now Mustang-E) has had transformer blown twice in 4 years and says the existing infrastructure cant handle it.
No blown transformers here.

Unless there's other companies that are currently developing it and releasing it in the next 10, even 20 years, it's not going to replace gas or electric cars.
We need to move away from fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, coal). EVs will help that (along with green energy).
I though this was a typo on the OP's part, but the website does indeed state a 40 amp breaker on a NEMA 14-50 outlet. Umm talk about a code violation.
(Keep in mind that this is a universal outlet install, NOT a direct wiring install. So the breaker NEEDS to be sized to the maximum load limit, not just the load limit of the primary device that's going to be installed on it.)

Storage is dreadful without rear seat down.
Bolt has awful handling in bad weather (rain...no snow in LA)...my guess is it's due to very hard rubber on tires (fuel efficiency?), and too much torque going to front tires.
