Agree that the new EV tax credit rules (changed in the Inflation Raising Act) are very much a factor in limiting supply of cheap EV's. Also there's the existence of the EV tax credit itself: artificially inflating the price of any EV it applies to. Just like everything else the government subsidizes. Government, quit "helping"!

However, I don't cry any tears for Volkswagen. Our car tariffs and such are child's play compared to Germany's protectionist car policies. This is where I, who likes free trade, agree with Trump on. Don't call it "free trade" if we drop our tariffs and limitations but the other country doesn't. We can win most any trade war because they usually need us more than we need them. Of course, the EV regulations aren't about getting Germany to drop their import tariffs and such. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

To: Tell It Right

I bet you VW won’t bring it here because it won’t meet the NTHSA Crash ratings.

Most foreign cars won’t meet that or the emissions.
