I think we are safe there. Mazda loathes that sort of styling and has been vocal that even their previous entries under the MazdaSPEED brand were too ‘boy racer’ for the vision of the brand at present. Audi S and Volvo Polestar are great examples of where I could see Mazda taking a grown up sporty version of their…

200whp is perfect for FWD, 300whp is perfect for AWD, at least in the scope of  small/mid-size car, such as the Mazda3 and Mazda6.

and a dollar for every meeting scheduled.

Aside from daily-driver duties, I used my Miata for Autocross and a development mule for tuning with ECUTEK. I never hypermiled or stressed getting good fuel economy, the car is just really good at managing solid fuel economy numbers. If I drove like a hoon I would get 32mpg, if I drove normally, as in shifting around…

The Rivian offerings look promising and I’m excited to try them out; the first of the EV automobiles that have captured my attention.

That sounds dangerously undemocratic. Something that should be voted on buy the people, not dictated.

Local spending isn’t a factor in the Federal EV Tax Credit. Same with Defense, it is funded at the federal level.

EPA numbers are public knowledge and 30mpg combined. I’m not arguing that or even the validity of their findings. The EPA test cycle is standardized but not conclusive of all driving habits and styles.

The Tesla Model 3's price has dropped 70%, while increasing range 50%? 

I supported the initial tax credit, even as someone still struggling to find an interest in any of the current EV products offered. I don’t support expanding it, as companies should have had enough ‘startup’ help from the first 200,000 vehicles the credit covered, per manufacturer. Between the credit offsetting the…

If they are going to continue to force the general tax paying public to subsidize EV buyer’s cars. I’d like to see the per car deduction/credit reduced a bit and to offer a smaller credit to ICE buyers that choose high-efficiency solutions.

Proposal:
-Reduce EV credit to $4,000 per car.
-Adopt ICE credit of $2,000 per…

“So, no performance modifications?” -PMC Engineer Lead

“No.” -Acura Product Planning 

I don’t see that as a good thing if that is the goal.

We are temporarily and artificially lowering the cost of EV’s as they are too expensive compared to their ICE peers. If they are to become a truly competitive product, it should be left to the companies to invest in R&D that brings forward more cost-effective EV…

The current ownership of EV1's is important because the car wasn’t sustainable, it was too early in the development of EV’s to risk them staying out of GM’s hands. Modern EV’s, which single-handedly exist because of Tesla, are legitimate options that people can own and that perform with and sometimes even exceed ICE…

While I won’t disagree that there is an unhealthy amount of corruption in educational spending; that corruption also exists for defense spending, transportation spending, and honestly, any legislated spending. I’ve worked in education, defense, and telecommunications and if there is government spending involved, it is…

How many people still have those EV1's?

Your source stops at 2008, conveniently prior to most of the modern advancements in ICE vehicles. My 2003 Mustang V8 gets 19mpg, yet my 2016 Miata performed as well as the Mustang, even out-handling it, and returns 36mpg for the trouble.

The tax credit isn’t helping lower income drivers buy electric cars. It is helping wealthy people buy into EV’s, even though they could likely afford them anyways. We haven’t seen an ecological benefit to EV’s yet for the small number sold, and the tax credit may be boosting sales, but not enough to offset ICE’s.

The…

That’s just wrong. I’d only want this with AWD, but I’d also only want this with a 6MT. It’d be a boring AND ugly car with a CVT. Add to it that the CVT’s constantly have trouble as miles climb and the value proposition goes out the window. I’ll take a FIAT 500 Abarth with a manual gearbox over one of these crack…

I’m fond of hydrogen as well, but haven’t seen significant interest in it outside of a few manufacturers R&D efforts. The nice thing about it is that most current vehicles could have conversions performed to allow them to run on hydrogen (special fuel cell and filling assembly, special fuel lines, special injectors…
