As we reported yesterday, buyers of Tesla’s Model 3 hoping to take advantage of the $7,500 plug-in electric vehicle tax credit offered in the US could miss out because Tesla may have used up its 200k available credits by the time the Model 3 is delivered. Now a petition has appeared on the White House website calling for an increase to the limit on credits. An excerpt from the petition reads: “A significant amount of consumers across the United States this past week have made the choice for an electric vehicle over a fossil fuel vehicle (a clear reference to Tesla’s Model 3 sales last week). Many of those consumers will be ineligible for the credit because of the phase out and many more will decide not purchase an electric vehicle because certain manufacturers will exceed the 200,000 vehicle cap. We ask the White House to help change legislation to increase the tax credit cap in order to further promote the use of alternative fuels.”
