Maybe I've missed something, but it seems to me that when they want to stimulate ICEV sales, the manufacturers offer rebates. I haven't seen any factory rebates on EVs, just lease bargains. Have I missed some? Something to think about: GM didn't sell EV1s, only leased them. They knew they were going to get out of EVs as soon as they could, and didn't want to have to support them with parts and service long-term. Hence those heart- rending photos of EV1 morgues. http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm > At the end of lease I'll look for a new EV to buy and will likely have > more choices at a lower price. I hope you will have more choices. But given what I've seen the automakers do in the past, I'm sorry to say that I'm not as confident as you are.
