lukati said:I wonder what is going on behind doors at the IL EPA's rebate office. This is an established program that has been handing out money to a certain "clientele" for years. I assume fuel subsidies have been the main budget item, while EV rebates were probably only a minor issue (see our low EL plate numbers). Now suddenly these EV applications are coming in in large numbers and with large demands in an environment of, at best, constant funding. So something will have to give.
Yes, but as you said our numbers are actually quite low (even assuming that the 'earliest' NEW EV to request a rebate was say plate #260 -- it was at 252 about a year ago; we're only up to #307 so perhaps maybe 55 or 60 cars including those w/o the 'EL' plates; even for a small office that's not many to process)
