Charger installation costs vary greatly depending on how far the garage is from your panel. Also if you need a panel upgrade it will be much more.
In many places, the utility provide may have rebates on charger purchase and installation. Example where i live SMUD [smud.org]has some major rebates.
if you have a 220v in your garage then you can use a $35 splitter, only need to hire an electrician if you want to run an entirely new 220v line from your breaker box

$80000 - $7500
$72500 / 10 years of ownership = $7250 per year
thats like one vacation to hawaii with your spouse bro
ideally you will have $7500 + $7500 of federal tax liability since it is a tax credit.. but even if youre ~$14000 instead of $15000 not too bad

BTW, its not 220V line, its a 240V line. The 240V line is made by the use of 2 120V lines and a ground.

You are probably right, maybe I haven't paid much attention to it.

Umm.. That's 10-15 less vacations.
I'm tempted to buy this, but I'd be broke fast if I justified all my purchases that way.
Thomas Schafer who worked at VAG (vw/audi/porsche) during diesel gate which will kill hundreds of people due to nitrous oxide pollution?
Koji Sato who donates millions to senators who vote for oil subsidies because toyota doesnt know how to make an EV to save its life?
Jose Munoz who continues business with dozens of Hyundai U.S. parts factories that have been caught employing child laborers? and who cheaped out on an $80 immobilizer which has lead to their cars being the most stolen cars in american history?
Mary Barra who killed 124 americans due to a $2 plastic ignition switch instead of a more robust $5 one that wouldnt turn off if your keychain was too heavy?
Is it one of those CEO?
cheers, cant wait for the response.

It offsets current year tax liability only, dollar for dollar until liability reaches $0 or you have used up all the EV credit you are entitled to.
Well-- one of them.... there's a bunch of others including superior engineering, efficiency, battery management, vertical integration, software and OTA updates, advanced L2 ADAS, they ability to actually produce EVs in volume, etc... That's why they can sell lots of cars with better specs at a lower price and still make money compared to legacy auto that can't even sell inferior spec cars at higher prices without losing $ on them, and why the majority of all EVs sold in the US continue to be from Tesla.

Folks have been saying this for 10 years- during which Tesla keeps growing sales on average 50% YoY....while most legacy companies share of the overall car market has declined.
VW announced (also almost 10 years ago) they'd be the market leader in EVs by 2018-- instead they're cutting shifts and delaying new models for years because they still don't understand how to write software.... GM told us in 2017 it was supposed to have introduced 20 new EV models by now, instead they've only got a couple of new ones actually on the market and nobody is buying them. Not to mention the few EVs the legacy car companies sell all get sold at a loss- while every Tesla is sold at a substantive profit. Legacy can't afford to compete with Tesla- they'd lose too much money selling that many money-losers.
The only EV company providing any substantive "competition" for Tesla is BYD, which doesn't currently sell anything in the US at all but is doing pretty well in China and now Europe, and actually sells EVs profitably (though at a much smaller profit than Tesla does)
