New Green Act (including EV tax credit extensions)
There is a quite good chance this will pass in some form:
On 5 February, the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures announced the reintroduction of the “Growing Renewable Energy Efficiency Now (GREEN)” Act. The bill was previously introduced in June 2020. If passed, the legislation would provide for a host of incentives across the renewable energy, energy storage, carbon capture, and electric vehicle industries.
Some notable provisions include:
...increase of the electric vehicle credit cap to 600,000 vehicles sold, the credit would then reduce to 50 percent the following quarter, and then be eliminated for that manufacturer.
...Qualification of sales of used electric vehicles for up to a US$2,500 credit... -
EVgo Limiting our Rights
I got an email from EVgo this morning about new terms of service.
To me this sounds like if gas stations were to stop allowing modified vehicles. I'm all for things being done safely, but this is not the direction we need the industry to go. -

Toyota Mirai lives up to Toyota’s reputation of QUALITY!
Not sure why anyone buys anything other than Toyota, here we have a 2016 Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell vehicle which reached 200,000 miles today and the only issue in 5 years and 200,000 miles has been one bad wheel bearing. Not too shabby! Gotta Love Toyota!!

how is 131MPGe actually calculated?
after 6 months of owning a Prius prime 2020, I am still confused on the how this calculated. Combined with electricity from the hybrid system, the government estimates it will earn 133 MPGe. I assume this is for just a 200 mile trip and one would need to recharge battery to obtain the 133MPGe to continue this number. Here is the article I read: - "" the Primes tested on our 200-mile fuel-economy route missed their EPA highway rating. However, since we test at a considerably higher speed (75 mph) than the EPA, we'd be impressed by any plug-in that was able to equal its EPA number. In hybrid mode, the Prime Plus earned 47 mpg highway and the Premium model earned 49 mpg. We also tested each in EV mode where the Plus earned 116 MPGe and the Premium earned 118.
does anybody have any other real data. -
