EV tax loans are dead. There are agreements and discounts

Without $ 7,500, car manufacturers must now sell EV for merit and price, somehow carving the way to profitability. This does not mean that the sale will collapse. In a new survey, it shows that Americans are still open EV if discounts are available. Good news: car manufacturers are already increasing with decreased prices and incentives.

Welcome to Friday’s edition Critical materialsYour daily rounding of messages and events that shape the world of electric cars and technologies.

Also on their radar today: some Tesla investors are planning to vote against the compensation of Elon Musk’s trillions next month and are also not a record quarter of Thruldede Tesla. We are discussing more why the Dream of Dreams in China after years of record dirty stopped grinding.

30%: Americans can continue to buy EV: Poll

Analysts plan to sell EV significantly by expiry of $ 7,500 federal tax credit. Even Ford CEO, Jim Farley, estimated that the EV market would be meaningful and possible only about 5% of the total car market compared to 11% in the third quarter.

But a new Harris survey published Car reports Suggests that Americans are not ready to give up ev. The vast majority of the 2000 or more respondents at the end of September said it was still considering EV – the price was correct.

Here is more out of outlet:

Most EV defectors – 60% – would need a motivation of at least $ 5,000 to consider EV, and almost 30 Dorn would turn EV with an incentive guard from $ 2,500 to $ 4.999. Eleven puncture would be content with an incentive less than $ 2,500.

Incentives are important for the adoption of EV, because affordability remains among the buyers the highest problem, said Greg Paratore, head consultant in Harris survey. According to the August study of Harris Poll and urban science, the availability is the highest interest in 64% of buyers ev.

Seven. 30 came and left, but discounts still exist. The growth of sales may not be as robust as before, but if vending machines continue to offer technologically superior vehicles at competition prices, buyers will not run.

General Motors and Ford have extended the use of federal tax credit by financing their EV purchasing arms on land sellers with initial payment payments that would qualify for tax credit. It is a creative arrangement that will reduce the purchase price or monthly rental payments.

2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 now gets an average price reduction of more than $ 9,000. This means that the initial price of Ioniq 5 is now $ 35,000 before the goal. It is with Chevy Equinox EV and Toyota BZ, which are both compatible, but not as advanced as Ioniq 5, which reaches 800 in architecture with some fast speeds in Hyundai, also offers $ 7,500 in cash in the 2025 Ioniq 5S.

Rivian’s lease agreements were not detected by Eith. Start-up EV offers a $ 6,500 discount on selected R1T and R1S models to customers who have taken the delivery of their vehicle in front of OCotuber 31.

Also note that there are several available models. The brand new Nissan list with more than 300 miles and the initial price of $ 30,000 is now dirty. EV The next generation Chevy Bolt is around the corner and is already escaping. In addition, Tesla has a more affordable model Y in the pipeline (or whatever it is called). The timing is mature for these affordable EV and can help industry to move forward despite the wide attack on clean energy from the White House.

At the same time, it plans to continue the growing share in the EV market at the expense of the lower lines of cars more than ever, as soon as they are killed by customs costs. That could end up like a toxic cocktail. As before, get shops until they last.

60%: Some Tesla Investors will vote against Muska’s trillion dollars

Some inventors of Tesla are not the subject of the prospect that Elon Musk’s CEO will become the world’s first trillionaire. This week he became the first half billionaire. This group included an investment group of soc and the Treasury of Nevada, New Mexico and Connecticut.

Here’s more of Reuters::

The group quoted what it called the “tireless persecution” of the advice of Musk and stated that at the last annual meeting he delayed progress in key goals, and pointed out to reduce operational and financial performance and “not to provide meaningful supervision of real -time management”.

News are coming when Tesla investors threw up a record delivery of Q3 by almost half a million EV sales around the world. Tesla’s stock price dropped by 3%on Thursday afternoon, indicating that the market value of the company is closely bound to the development in AI and robotics, rather than in the sale of vehicles.

90%: After years of rapid growth decline

The company has experienced explosive growth in China over the past five years because the automaker has ceased to produce gas cars and focused only on vehicles for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. For the first time in half a decade, its sales decreased in the growing competition and government intervention to prevent prize predators.

Here’s more of Nikkei::

Sales of March 2025, year -on -year growth slowed every month. In August, sales increased only 0.1% and in September dropped by 6% to 396 270 units. Passenger cars, which represent more than 90% of sales, dropped by 6% to 393 060 units.

Geely, Leapmor and Xiaomi rivals grow rapidly in China and offer top EV at a competitive rate. In addition, the Chinese government intervened in the middle of a price war that hurts smaller suppliers who received delayed payments from automotive companies, sometimes up to 200 days in some boxes.

In June, the regulatory change is now forcing companies as BY to pay suppliers within 60 days of delivery of the components. Now the resident is trying to balance the slowdown in China by expanding Europe with a new construction in Hungary. And last month he introduced several new models at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich.

100%: Which brand wins an available EV battle?

Chevy Equinox EV of $ 35,000 fired at the top of GM sales charts, when last year WSENTSUITS, proves that the buyer jumps on an EV with a decent range and a reasonable price tag. However, Evinox EV now faces serious competition. Hyundai introduces similarly affordable Ioniq 5 prices. Nissan has opened orders for its new sheet. And Tesla’s long -lived accessible crossover based on the Y model is hidden just around the corner.

So who do you think is best placed for victory? Buyers want low prices, but also fast charging stops and the ability to occasionally take long distances. Will it be Tesla, Hyundai or GM? But could Nissan, Ford or even Toyota introduce a surprising comeback?
