Electric Vehicle Incentive Program (EVIP):
1. No need increase the incentive for vehicles over $75,000. The market is too small to have environmental impact.
2. 30% of vehicle price cap is very generals already, no need to increase the cap. The incentive should tie to the battery size and charging time. Because most people's concern are travel distance and charging time. The government should encourage the technology development on this areas.
3. EVCIP: Give business incentive to install charging equipment on its parking lot, but government doesn't need to install charging station on public property, except its own office parking lot.
Education:
1. More public education on savings on daily fuel vs electricity, not just the pollution part. But actually a picture of Beijing in smog will be great way for the public awareness.... Might be having a few pictures taken with smog infested cities and let public identify them?
2. Publish incentive target for future models, subjecting to the target price tag change. For example, when people want to pre-order a Telsa Model 3, there is no info on governments website on this vehicle.
