Tax credits have helped Altima hybrid sales The has not qualified

Summary: Tax credits have helped Altima hybrid sales The has not qualified for a tax credit in some time yet demand far outweighs supply The demand supply ratio is so out of whack that dealers are adding as much as $5 000 to the MSRP in addition to thousands worth of dealer add ons and they are still selling Many other such as the and the are selling as fast as they can be produced also with dealer markups While a few hundred thousand new hybrids will be added to the hybrid supply starting some time in 2009 if gas prices remain high these hybrids will probably not just sell easily but many will sell with dealer markups So are hybrid tax credits still necessary For what to help justify dealer markups Hybridcarblog has been an advocate of hybrid tax credits for years but isn t new thinking required For example perhaps the focus should be on plug in conversions EVs or vehicles that achieve at least 80 mpg Of course it s hard arguing against hybrid tax credits when unbelievably gas guzzlers STILL qualify for small business tax incentives Nonetheless should Congress create new hybrid tax incentives and if so what should be the focus Do hybrid tax credits still make sense
