Per your comment, those credits are functioning exactly as designed, although I'd like to see them expanded.
Actually, I'd like a $10000 rebate (NOT tax credit) on EVs that drops $500-$1000/year. That would encourage adoption and companies to get their models on the road.
I would like the same for a 100 mile range PHEV, which would probably be a better use of the battery manufacturing capacity, and easier for more companies to get on the road.
EVs we have now are a good start, but I think the first big step is a LFP-chemistry 100 mile range PHEV with a compact range extension motor (like that "inside out rotary" patent or a small atkinson-cycle generator, or whatever Mazda comes up since they're going to take a swing at a wankel range extender).
Then when solid state, Li-S or whatever hits the market, we switch to those.
