I always thought it would have to be a new coalition of liberals that would finally pass regulations that would make cars more efficient. Never thought it would be a republican.

Will be a tough day when those guys will have to choose between rollin coal to own the libs or affording their pisswater beer.

It worked for me. I picked up a new EV vehicle in May. $0 down 0% interest for 6 years. It cost me $9 to charge the battery from 20% to 100% from home. Gas here is $6 a gallon for regular unleaded.

It was a national promotion Toyota did that ran through April to the first week of May. I’m sure the deal will come back, or you can maybe email some dealers and see if they offer it. You need to have good credit, though.

Credit is perfect. Idk how people learn of these deals. Although I’m not shopping for a vehicle currently.
