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.

Range is pretty great, the car is surprisingly spacious inside (no problem fitting a few car seats in), and Chevy's free installation of the receptacle means I just plug in the car overnight and have a full battery by morning. Coming from Japanese cars, and hating every Chevy rental I've ever driven, I didn't expect to love the car as much as I do. The instant torque and smooth ride really make it a fun vehicle to drive.
Your post reeks of big oil propaganda with its lies and misinformation. If you hate EV's just admit it, no need to come in here and lie to everyone because you are super angry that EV's exist.
Bolt EUV is a slick deal for a nice commuter car. $34K OTD with free electrician work + $10K in rebates. Trade the car in 3-4 years for break even. It's a no brainer.
I have no need for a Tesla Model 3 so I'll save the 20%.
Base Model 3 or ID.4 was $9500 more.

Up thread a bit some one was planning on a resale value in 3 to 5yrs. A lot of faith there to be basing that on a reason to buy something of truly unknown value.
Up thread Some one was saying you wont even know the real prices of a battery in 8yrs. I think they are assuming it will be less. We do however know what they are now. We do Know Tesla has a few gens of batteries under their belt, but notice they are continually trying to get it right. Some thing else we all must keep in mind here is a car manufacturer is only required to have parts for the duration of the warranty. There are a lot of special parts in these things. Part availability will play a huge part of that resale value. Imagine buying a $100k Rivian and they go they way of DeLorean..
Another thing that I cant get out of my head is a poll a while back. It poled California EV owners and only 1 in 4 or 5 would buy again. Did they all get magicaly better when the Tax dodge was offered?
Even the oldest ones are still way better than some here suggest, with 10 year old ones, with ~200k miles, having >80% of original range left.
The newer ones are of course even better than that and will outlast the car in nearly all cases.
Every time I look for it I only find a poll that found the opposite result- perhaps you were confused about what you read and that confusion of what it said is why you can't get it out of your head?

"nearly" 1 in 5 went back to gas.
Meaning over 80% were happy with the EV.
And that's a poll over 2 years old (meaning the owners switching back was even further back in time).
Meanwhile the most current sales data (July) in California shows the best selling brand of car, of any type, is Tesla.
Awesome deal, nice car, we're very happy overall.
