Politics Makes EV Tax and Incentives Ephemeral

However, it should be noted that politics is the name of the game when it comes to tax reductions and incentives that can cause some confusion with “Why this EV, and not that EV?” questions. Adding to the confusion is the fact that these incentives can vary widely from one country to another, and they may change (rather abruptly) due to updates in government policies.

For example, the country source of origin for parts and material sources for EVs (specifically the batteries), the amount of money you make, your marriage status, and the MSRP of the vehicle all can affect whether a tax rebate or other incentive applies. The end result is that you could wind up with the entire reduction, half the reduction, or nothing at all contrary to what you may have heard lately.
