All anyone needs to know about EVs and Hybrids is what their owners say about them and the cult like devotion they have for them. Misery LOVES company and they want everybody to be paying way too much for new technology the same way computer geeks were in the 1990s.
I can't speak to EV owners, but as a hybrid owner, I couldn't care less what anyone else drives, but my hybrid is fricking awesome
Fast off the line, smooth acceleration, smooth cruising up to 90mph (likely higher, just never driven it faster), 45mpg average (rated at 48/48. 45mpg+ over the life of a tank of gas is what I've gotten on every fill up, ever), over 500 miles per tank of regular unleaded gas.
If something breaks, I'll let you know what it costs to fix it. Beyond that, there's literally nothing not to like.

It doesn’t save the planet. So why get a tax credit?
Again if these cars were so great, let the market decide.
How do tax credits hurt you?

WTF are you babbling about?
EV's are more expensive to insure, they cost more to begin with, are totaled easily, and have limited collision parts availability.

You say that as if ICE vehicles have never been given tax credits

That didn't hit like you thought it would.

Our insurance went down when my wife went from her 17 IS350 to her Model 3.

When I drive more, safety score is high and insurance is cheaper than if we used our regular carrier that we have for our Grand Cherokee.
But when wife drives it more, safety score is lower, and we pay a good bit more.

We'd be so fricked if I had a safety score based rate.

So she has a bit more freedom than I do to open it up here and there, and apparently, takes advantage of that freedom.

What are the gas powered counterparts?
Austin Martin's? They use the most expensive cars they could find for the comparison?

It’s a little more complicated than just the vehicle comparison. The EV incentives make capital raising for lease fund attractive because big banks hate paying taxes and love IRS backed incentives. There’s a big cost of capital advantage that wouldn’t be as noticeable in lower interest environments.
