I was hoping for a cash for clunkers 2.0
That would be amazing
Cash for Clunkers impacted the used car market for well over a decade.
Wasn’t that part of the expectation?

Hell I’ll take a clunker to e-clunker conversion kit plan.
Is that something that’s even remotely viable? I mean I’m sure it’s technically possible but there’s way more to it than just an engine swap, I’m not sure it would be any cheaper than just building a new car.
I mean poor folk aren’t getting any cheap options anytime soon, new or used. It’d be nice to have the option for a $7k-9k conversion, but with a decent rebate to make it viable, along with the ability to pay over time. And EV conversions seems to have gone down in cost than when I last looked, if we can get it down even more heck yeah!
You can convert a clunker but it would not be cheap. Batteries alone are fairly pricey.
Having the feds $15.5 billion on EVs is a waste unless you nationalize the railroads.
15B is a drop in the bucket. Throwing money at things doesn’t solve problems. Especially that small an amount. Only better policy decisions solve problems.
While Congress is perpetually locked down by Republicans from doing any real legitimate progressive legislation, this seems like the most Biden can do. And I think it could be argued it’s not terrible considering how absolutely fucking immovable our entire political system is for the past 3 decades.
This is just gonna fuck the poor who can’t afford electric cars, while the upper class who can afford them will get more breaks
Car is a privilege not a right. Use bus.
Your mum is taking up all the seats
