I do not support this. They never should have pulled it off anything.

We've been telling people to go electric for years to be better off, and they just ignored it.

That's fair, but not everyone CAN do that even if they want to

Exactly, you can throw all the incentives you want at me and I'd be happy to switch today, but my landlords don't care because they're not the ones paying the carbon tax.

Or…you can throw all the rebates you want at it but people still have to put up the initial value
