@@CarCoachReports does it have regen brakes or only power added through the battery?
Like all your reviews...even the short ones. On our third Optima and went with the Turbo this time around...seems like an agreeable mid life crisis choice! Like Kia's "normal" take on something efficient with room to spare!
You don’t get the $7500 tax credit with the Niro. You get approx $4600 tax credit

Some states offer additional credits.

You should investigate the state tax breaks. Very few do and the ones that do has a lot of loop holes. The tax breaks are according to battery size in the car. Plus a family of 4 with an income of $75000.00 with the max deductions won't receive the full tax break. You get back more than you pay in

SC actually adds a tax for non gas fueled vehicles (alternative fuel tax). SC... the anti-green state... I don’t know how many other states do this but it definitely surprised me.
