WIRED’s Guide to Buying a Used Plug-In Hybrid

With sales growth lagging, it’s a weird time in the electric vehicles market. It’s also, oddly enough, a good time to experiment with the plug. The Donald Trump administration put the kibosh on several US federal policies aimed at boosting the development, production, and purchase of new-energy vehicles. Still, $4,000 tax credits for used battery-electric cars and plug-in hybrids are available for qualified vehicles and buyers (more on that later) until the end of September. If you want to tak
