David,
You are partly right. The rebate is for business, but
it is based on the weight of the vehicle. If you buy
a $50K SUV and a $50K electric car, you would in fact
get more tax refund over a period of time than the
electric car (unless the electric car meets the weight
requirement for the
$35K tax break on SUV verse $2K on Hybride, electric,
etc. You should also know that most of the import SUV
don't meet the weight requirements. In fact, I don't
know any that would meet it.

of the US domestic industry. What would be your answer?

You are probably less worried about American oil companies
getting in on the Iraqi oil than the CEO of British Petroleum
BP. He insisted that BP should get their fair share after the
war.

David,
We are here talking about a one time write off the year you
buy it. This is a very large difference than normal write off.
This also give excellent opportunities for tax planning.
If you followed the list discussion on this issue, you would also

It took some time for the foreigners to catch up and that gave
Detroit a chance to build and capture the market. Today I
