    Oh holy shit, this would actually be really good for encouraging some people to get small NEVs like the Kandi, especially if it kills off some of the weird states that have an added fee for buying an EV

    I would unironically use this to get one of those since I need a car and don't currently own one at all. Would come out to like 4 grand or something after the credit.

      I don't understand NEVs because, with a top-speed of 25-35mph, wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a golf-cart since most of them typically come street legal anyways

        Golf carts legally can't exceed and are designed generally around a spec of 15 mph. It just feels faster. They also don't generally include literally any safety features, like turn signals, mirrors, horns, seatbelts, window defoggers, doors or other things like that. So, LSVs and NEVs are generally safer, faster, and more feature rich. Some include heating as well, a necessary aspect for them in colder climates.

          today i learnt there is a legitimate distinction between a golf-cart and a LSV. All the 'golf-carts' I was thinking of (i.e. these $15,000 golf-trucks I've seen boomers at the beach driving to get breakfast) are considered LSVs not golf-carts. :cat-confused:
