Yesterday the Treasury Department clarified that buying a colossal electric pickup truck like the Ford F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T qualifies you for a $7,500 federal tax break.

Meanwhile, buying an e-bike still gets you nothing.

Which Electric Vehicles Qualify for Federal Tax Credits?

Here is a partial list of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles that will qualify for federal tax credits in 2023.

This is sort of crazy when you think about it.

For short City commutes, somehow don't think that a Ford 150 lightning, while an amazing vehicle, is the right tool for the job.

Encouraging the electric bike industry seems like a no-brainer, as long as it polices itself, and doesn't continue making batteries that exploding catch fire.
