There is a huge amount of new information coming out on the title-vehicles. Thus, I felt it was best to start and schedule this post before this trove requires a multivolume post.

This paper will cover some additional clarifications to the Inflation Reduction Act tax credits for purchasing EVs, new battery and EV manufacturers building new battery plants in the U.S., some new information on “heavy” EV Manufacturers, puncturing a bogus argument about how charging EVs will impact the grid, the cost of charging various EVs and how do we can reduce that cost. The section on Future EVs focuses on Vans. The final section is on how California codified its future requirement to only sell light EVs after 2035 (vs. light vehicles mainly powered by gasoline or diesel engines).
