The EV Tax Credit is Changing to Incentivize Buying Cheaper Electric Cars
Biden recently signed the Inflation Reduction Act, and along with the sections dedicated to fighting climate change, reducing healthcare costs, and increasing taxes on corporations, there are some add-ons to the EV tax credit. Namely that it will be impossible to get the full 7,500-dollars.
In this video I tell you what changes to the EV tax credit were made, who qualifies, what effects the changes have on corporations, and if the act will succeed at what it was made to do.

Awesome video bro. Love Jettas
Very well done. I have a 2016 Jetta 5spd manual . 90,000 miles, still runs great !
Ow do the driver side
Great video🎉
What about the drivers side lca bolt that hits the pan? 😂
Was gonna say that, even 1a auto video is the same 😂
Simple and easy video but my bolts where not that size I manage s though. But thank you for the information.
50 years until we run out of oil. 😅 Laughing my ass off I don't know where you heard that from but that's a bunch of bullshit. We've got more oil than we will ever use in the US that's not even tapped into.We've got enough oil we hadnt even been tapped into in the US We Got so much oil in the US that had even been tapped into it's unreal.. You need to quit listening to them damn democrats. They're trying to bring wash yall young people. We've got plenty of oil. But dumb-ass Joe Biden shut down the pipeline. I pray we get that idiot out of office and get a Republican in so he can straighten this country out.
E fuel is the future. Not electric. How environmentally un friendly is replacing all the old petrol and diesel cars with electric cars. And electric cars are not that clean anyway they produce more CO2 JUST BEING MADE !!!!!
Efuel still has some large hurtles to overcome before it can be the future, though I certainly hope it becomes part of the future. I do need to point out though that in the long run EVs produce less CO2 when you take in the entire lifetime of the vehicle into account
no one points out how it takes more energy to produce one battery for an ev than most of the life of a gas car. make sure you use fossil fuel to charge the car. so enjoy your coal powered car. most people cannot charge their car at home so then what. nothing to wait around for an hour or so for the car to charge. the mininig of the materials causes more damage to the planet than they dare say. you just do not see that here because it is done in other countries. why do they need to wear hazmat suits if the try to recycle the batteries, or talk about the extremely hazardous chemical to make the batteries in addition to the use of fossil fuels. oh what about the batteries exploding or the extremely dangerous fires in the batteries. oh well enjoy them
I don't know how much coal it takes to produce enough electricity to charge an EV but I'm not sure that it's worse than burning tens of thousands of gallons of gasoline throughout a cars lifetime. In the US over 60% of all occupied housing units have a garage or carport so most people actually can charge their car at home. The mining often also uses child labor on top of the damage to the environment. However it is difficult to say whether or not drilling for oil causes more environmental damage than mining for lithium. The hazmat suits are definitely necessary considering the chemicals used in batteries but if you look into the process of drilling, transporting, and refining oil then you'll see its not exactly sanitary either. Batteries exploding and catching fire are both pretty rare scenarios, probably about as likely as a gas car's tank leaking fuel everywhere and catching fire from the heat of the engine.
Nice one! Fast video and very interesting and accurate
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video !
Thank you!
Nice try, young blood. Now go play outside with your RC toy, I mean, EV EV's are way more polluting when you take into account the lithium, a scarce commodity and poisonous, used in battery production. Then where we gonna get rid of these toxic batteries in 10-20 yrs and forward.? Heh?
Never mind the fact that some places where lithium and cobalt are mined use child labor. I'm well aware of the problems we face with EVs. It's not a perfect solution, it would actually be better if everyone used public transportation bc that is FAR cleaner than everyone driving their own car around, regardless of the car.
i thing two gears will be the future
You have done some homework about EVs. The question is do you own one? Also one thing most people don't realize is that refining oil into gas also takes a lot of electricity which people seem to ignore. Good job on the video. Good luck with them.
Factual accuracy is important with these videos so homework is necessary. I don't own an EV simply because I can't afford to buy one and because there is a complete lack of public charging where I live.
I bought my 2022 Kona and picked it up Oct 7 2021. I have driven 18K in 10 months and mostly charge from home once a week. My Kona range is 470km mostly hwy summer and 365km during the winter in Toronto. No issues so far and no regrets. I paid 46K. Canadian new. Tax included
I'm both impressed by the range you manage on the highway and shocked at how much the temperature affects the range. Completely forgot about the effects of temperature, maybe I'll revisit this topic in a few months or years and include that.
@@autoreportsweekly8148 Sounds good. The Kona comes with a heat pump. My buddy bought a Tesla Model 2 with no heat pump. 2021 model and he didn't even know was a heat pump was or its use in the car.
did you know that it takes more fossil fuel to make one ev battery than most gas cars use in their entire lifetime. so you are already way out front in the amount of fossil fuel use the day you buy your new ev
Where did you learn this? I would like to find out because that sounds extreme to me
@@autoreportsweekly8148 I bought my Kona on Toronto and talking from experience over the last 11 months. What exactly would you like to know?
thank you for this video. i live in Orlando, FL and have racked up 3 red-light camera citations over the past year; and i know for an absolute fact i have NEVER ran a red light. the worst i've done is cross MY white line while still yellow and once I am halfway thru the intersection i can see it JUST turn red, while putting no one in danger as I cross. I've been doing more research and can see this is really just our local governments doing anything for profit at this point.
Happy to provide some insight! There's many things that governments do that are questionable and this is one of those unfortunately.
Great show ! I understand that VW and Ford collaborating together to produce compact and mid-sized pickup trucks ? I hope that VW reviving the International Scout trucks work out and not get too radical with their design concept .
I had completely forgotten about that collaboration but after looking it all I could find was that Ford used it for an all electric crossover (presumably referring to the Mach-E) and VW used it for the ID.Buzz so I don't think the truck will be on that platform. I'm hoping they take a page from Ford's book and make the Scout's design as reminiscent to the original as Ford did with the Bronco.
Origins in the Nazi party going back almost a hundred years What the f*** how is that even relevant? That's why you got three comments counting mine... I'm out , 45 seconds
now its four comments
@@autoreportsweekly8148 Haha counting your own! At least you have a sense of humor You are young and hopefully learning Stay in the game. Good luck!
Humor is my only redeeming quality 😅. Thank you and best of luck to you in everything you do!
no mid-sized hybryds? ... what about the Ford Maverick - comes in a hybrid ...?
That's not a midsized truck, its about two feet shorter than the Chevy Colorado and only a few inches longer than a Toyota Camry. IDK if they officially call it a compact truck or what but I don't consider it midsized considering how much smaller it is
I have a 2021 Sport S with a 6speed stick shift, 2dr, hardtop.
"Irrational?" I don't have a Wrangler but I'd think it's far from "irrational" -- no more than a Ford Bronco would be "irrational," yes? No? ;-) -- BR (a very "rational" 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon)
As a daily driver, which is how many people use them, it is far from the best vehicle. Horrid fuel economy, wobbly at high speeds, vague steering, lots of wind noise, dismal storage space, etc. But all of that is ignorable for how you feel driving it, especially when the roof is down. Its more of an emotional purchase than a logical purchase which is why I used the term irrational though I guess irrational isn't the perfect word for it. I'll think of a more fitting title and change it. I think the Ford Bronco will also be an irrational purchase that will be based largely on the emotions it gives. I love both the Wrangler and the Bronco but objectively they aren't a great purchase as a daily. Offroading is a different story
