The first encounter for ecoincentivi USA

Even in the U.S. bureaucracy is infallible hide dangerous bug is the case for the incentives provided by the Obama for the purchase of electric cars or at least minimally polluting. The procedure provides that the payment is done in an indirect form of tax credits. In the period from January to July 2010 the purchasers of these products have required a total of 163.9 million dollars in reimbursement, but the entity responsible for monitoring has found 13,000 requests for 33 million dollars, inaccurate and therefore not reimbursable.

The problem is substantial, as manufacturers (U.S. and foreign) of electric and hybrid vehicles rely on the provision of incentives to have a final purchase price acceptable: the Chevrolet Volt, for example, without credit costs $ 41,000, a value placed in the top end of the U.S. market.

The fact that there are conditions for obtaining the incentive far more limited than expected may thus constitute a significant brake on the introduction of vehicles with low environmental impact, however, in a market that seems to be directing again (in fact) to model the "old "Big and pollutants.
