The Fast and the Injurious.

After manufacturer sells 200k electric/plug-in hybrid cars, the discount starts to phase out. The phase out is by time, and not volume, it’ll take place over the year following the 200k sale.

I started buying Anker products a couple of years ago and they’ve quickly become my go-to brand. Their products tend to be a significantly better build quality than the cheap stuff but still very reasonably priced.
