Electric vehicles are huge here in Georgia. We have state tax breaks on the purchase of EVs that make the vehicles effectively free [1] for many commuters. Anecdotally, one of my coworkers just bought a leaf because of the tax credit.

Guess who wants to stop the state EV tax credit bill? Shouldn't come as a surprise that it's the same dealer lobby [2] mentioned in the Tesla article.
