"With $7,500 free, added to my own deposit, I would definitely go and buy a new electric," Jean told Fox News. "I'm not saying I'm going to buy the car within the next few months, but within the next few years."
Sedans can't cost more than $55,000 to qualify for the credit, while SUVs and pickups are restricted to $80,000. But those prices are still outside the budgets of many drivers who spoke with Fox News."What really is $7,500 against the cost of an electric car?" Cathy, from Lincoln, Nebraska, said. She added that the best approach is to buy an affordable car, pay it off and own it outright.
"We have to live within our means, not live above our means. And I think that's what I see our government doing," Cathy continued. "They're living above what they can afford and pretending like there's no tomorrow." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks during a news conference after passage of the Inflation Reduction Act at the U.S. Capitol."It's good that they're getting money off, but I don't think I would buy one because of the money off," Alexandra said.

Didn't the EV makers raise the price of cars the same amount of the subsidies?
It’s not a Tax Credit. It’s a subsidy because we are all paying for this.
Not buying
The country's power grid could not handle the drain if the country went all electric cars. Plus most of the power is generated by fossil fuels. So you are just trading on devil for another devil.
So the folks that can afford a Tesla get a $7,500 tax credit! And the folks that can't afford one get to pay taxes for there credit!!! Makes perfect sense to today's Democratic Party! That's why we left the Party and Many More are to Just as much sense as below! Retweet 😎
