"And this year, it's an even bigger deal because the electric-vehicle tax credits will die in just one month's time. For the past few months, EVs-both new and used-have flown off the lots as automakers and dealers alike prepare for a day when prices go up by as much as $7,500 after Sept. 30. Sales of used EVs in particular have boomed as buyers took advantage of a tax discount up to $4,000."
"Our main event this week is my interview with David Undercoffler, the head of content at Autolist Inc. and head of consumer insights at car-buying website CarGurus.com. Dave and I go way back, and I'm always thrilled to hear his insights about the world of car-shopping. Also on deck this week: my co-host Tim Levin and I discuss Porsche's retreat from making battery cells in-house, and Stellantis throwing in the towel on its homemade Level 3 (hands-off, eyes-off) automated driving plans."
Labor Day coincides with a major U.S. car-buying weekend and the imminent expiration of electric-vehicle tax credits on Sept. 30. New and used EV sales accelerated as automakers, dealers, and buyers rushed to lock in incentives that could raise prices by as much as $7,500 for new EVs and remove up to $4,000 in tax discounts for used EVs. The InsideEVs Plugged-In Podcast features an interview with David Undercoffler of Autolist/CarGurus offering consumer insights for buyers aiming to score end-of-credit deals. The episode also covers Porsche abandoning in-house battery-cell production and Stellantis pausing Level 3 automated-driving plans, and is available across major podcast platforms with listener feedback invited.
