The disappearance of federal incentives is likely to have the biggest impact on lower-income Americans. Although state-level rebates and dealer discounts may soften the blow, many buyers who once relied on the $7,500 federal credit will find it harder to afford an EV.

Automakers and dealerships are responding to the loss of federal credits by rolling out their own attractive discounts. For some models, these deals rival or exceed the government’s previous rebates, helping keep prices competitive for American consumers.
