USA edition, yet shows photo of mennekes plug not found in USA.  :o

...also "Therefore, if the electric motorcycle is over $25,000, you won’t receive a full 10%."  thumbs down...  if the cost is under $25k you definitely don't receive the full 10%.

Yes that isnt the J1772 plug! On your 2nd note, if the price is <$25,000 wont it be the full 10% ? For example if it is $24,000 we get the full $2400 back as it would be less than the $2500 max.

That site lists New York State, but as far as I'm aware we don't have any special incentives for purchasing any EVs.  The only thing I know about is a tax credit for installing solar panels on your house.  I haven't looked in awhile so that may've changed but I certainly haven't heard of anything.

Et Tu Shadow?  Et Tu?     ;)

Lets point out that it's also floating in mid air.  Maybe powered by AI and has figured out that it's best to terminate all humans and it was striking out like an electric cobra.
And if not then it's just a stock graphic that looked cool and they stamped "USA Edition" over it.  But don't rule out the AI cobra theory completely because it's just a matter of "when" not "if".

As for the tax credit.  You would get a full "10%" credit for anything under $25k.  You wouldn't get the top out $2500 but you would get 10%.  I'd gladly only get $1000 tax credit by only paying $10k for the bike.    ;D 


Did no one notice the left hand lever?

And purely my opinion and guess.  I'm not ruling out a side Tesla partnership with their chargers.  We'll see.

I don't get it.

They say that the 10% credit that expires this year is good for the Damon bikes. Will Damon actually deliver a single bike this year?

These guys should partner with Lightning.

I have taken advantage of the Federal tax credit five times so far.   ;D  They always tell you that your new EV must be purchased and placed in operation during the tax year that the credit is being applied for in order to receive the credit. Pre-orders and deposits won't cut it with the IRS.
