You could say the same thing about deductibility of mortgage interest,


yet we decided to limit deductibility of interest on mortgages over $1M because we thought the optics of subsidizing millionaires home purchases weren't good.

Along those lines, I think an argument could be made to phase out the tax credit for EVs starting at say $50K with a complete phaseout by $75K. I think it's a good thing to encourage people to buy EVs. I don't think we need to encourage people to buy $100K+ EVs. Just as I think it's good to encourage homeownership, but I don't think we need to encourage people to own $1M+ homes.
