How To Fix EV's America Problem... While electric vehicles may be the brave new world which the automotive industry is heading in, gearheads around the world are crying out in protest - with their wallets and an aversion to purchasing EVs. One of the biggest indicators of this is the United States' Department of Treasury releasing final regulations for the clean vehicle tax credits for electric vehicles in early May 2024. The regulations provide for as much as $7,500 in up-front discounts for eligible vehicles, although there are a number of criteria that need to be met first, and over $135 million in EV rebates have been paid over to dealers since the start of the year.

Massive Discounts Are The First Sign Of Americans Giving EVs A Hard Pass

Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Sadly, Ed Brown – who led that same Ford dealer for a whopping 50 years – passed away in 2023, after which his children Tom Brown and Ruth Ann Brown took over the reigns.

The Tesla Model Y and 3 duo reign supreme over the electric car market in the U.S., but for a long time there was a very compelling rival that used to put up a serious fight. Most new electric vehicles barely scratch the surface of this product's success in the country and across select global markets. Despite its success, the manufacturer put this particular EV to rest to make way on its production line for a new range of electric vehicles. Thankfully, an all-new generation of this EV in question is on its way, but for the time being, it's currently setting the used car market ablaze, highlighting just how much car consumers value affordability, reliability, and efficiency.
