Anyone know if the $250 EV penalty made it into the final version of the BB bill?

Last I read, the $250 annual fee for BEvs was not in the version the senate passed and they the house voted on. The EV tax credit is set to expire on 9/30/2025 in that bill.

Thanks.

Media reported the Senate determined the government didn't have a mechanism to collect the funds and it would cost more than $250 per EV to drop it.

I suspect what really happened was they needed a graceful way to make this go away.

Well, I just got an email from DOGE informing me that my MME is scheduled for repo this coming Monday. Apparently they slipped a provision in the final bill that all EVs will be seized and disposed of in the most environmentally unfriendly way possible: a massive bonfire. Even worse than what all those “progressives” did to the Teslas. Speaking of Tesla, apparently Elon is being deported now??? (He’s our hero again now, btw.) I mean, the bill doesn’t call him out by name but says that anybody from South Africa with at least 15 kids and a rocket company is subject to immediate deportation, so I’m just reading between the lines. As for the public chargers, they’ll henceforth be repurposed as public urinals. Seems excessive. Sad face.

I usually burn a stack tires once a month as I do not want to decrease my carbon footprint. I am working on ice age prevention.

Just another reminder not to freak out until a bill becomes law.

If nobody freaked out a lot of bullshit would become law. Just saying.

 

[Tampamike]

A lot of people did freak out. A lot of bullshit did just become law.

 

[Kamuelaflyer]

A lot of bullshit did just become law.

Tomorrow. The bill will be signed tomorrow.

Why have been paying that in Washington for the past 9 years? ?

That's the new minimum extra EV fee in Hawaii. The original federal proposal would have been in addition to state EV fees, not in lieu of. It was a punitive proposal, nothing more.

Probably the least of American's concerns with this bill passage.

I read/heard somewhere that Trump promised some the House members that he would issue an executive order ending the EV and clean energy tax credits on 9/30/2025. Some House members were upset the Senate pushed the EV tax credit out to 2026 and the clean energy tax credits out to 2027.

Can I get you some cheese to go with that wine?
