This is a good argument for generous tax credits to jumpstart the market. However, the first wave of buyers of plug-in cars will be highly motivated early adopters—a group likely to buy regardless with or without large tax credits.Fast Newsletter

As much as I like hybrids the point of the tax credit was to spur the development of a new technology, not support a market. The government should be punishing (taxing) bad behavior, not picking winners.

On that note the CAFE standards are increasing 40% by 2020. It's hard to imagine auto manufacturers getting that much increase, that quickly without a lot of hybrids.

Charles, you’re right. Change the market (slowly), and let it decide.

How about raise the gas tax and let the best technology win. Do it a 2 cents a month for about 4 years. That way everybody knows what is coming.

The US gov't is still putting their money in the wrong places.

Instead of giving money to average consumers to buy hybrids, their giving money for plug-ins, which at todays prices are only affordable to the wealthy.

These plug-in credits are still basically "tax breaks for the rich".

Meanwhile in Japan, there is no cap by manufacturer on hybrid tax credits. As a result, the top two selling cars in the country are hybrids
