I’m getting my tax money back. Don’t think I haven’t put far more into the system than I’m getting out.
Given the system is there in the form that it is, I have no qualms about fairly using it to my advantage. I’ve basically undone confiscation of my own money for a while. I needed a car anyway, what with a ‘98 POS which would cost at least as much in repairs, or far more in replacement, than the Leaf would cost me without any rebates.
As for “evil environmentalism”, being conservative doesn’t mean deliberately trashing the planet. I’m all for being early adopter in lots of high technologies. Insofar as my Leaf may “save the planet”, great. Electric cars are cool.
The rebate program arguably screws up “supply and demand” in the EV market. I may prefer such programs not exist, but as it does and it otherwise works in my favor for improving the evil of confiscation & redistribution, this is the best path I have.
As lots of people are discovering the rebates amount to “free car”, and Georgia is starting to see serious revenue loss in the face of a depleted road maintenance funds, methinks the rebates will be repealed - which is already being attempted.
4 very conservative people in my company of 30 have gone for it, maybe more to come. Given realities, it’s a sensible conservative move.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the peanut gallery. They will slam you for "taking their money" while they all claim various deductions & credits on their state & local taxes for dependents, home ownership, charity, etc. Hypocrites.

your attitude enables the growth of this monster called government that is devouring us. are you liberals proud?
Below I quoted what you posted. that proves you are a socialist/marixist/democrat environmentalist. you don’t fool . who is destroying the planet, the evil oil and coal companies? here’s a clue global warming is a hoax. nothing wrong with coal and oil which is why you democrats had to INVENT a FAKE crisis like man made global warming to demonize oil , coal and capitalism and so enslave us and grow socialism
