Is it $7 000 less for any electric car or
is it percent based?]]>Apr 21st 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/
They said in the article:
"The most exciting detail about the car, however (besides its adorable attitude) is likely to be its pricepoint: £12,000 ($17,700) plus the recent government subsidy of £5000 ($7400) for electric car purchases will bring this puppy down to about £7,000 -- or just over $10,000

so at 10k the 7,000 has been taken off :) That's kind of handy, I didn't know there was anything like that for electric cars. I need to watch the news more...]]>Apr 21st 2009 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/
In the US I think it is $2,500 to $7,500. I think they calculate it as a percentage. I found this:

"The first 250,000 vehicles sold get the full tax credit (then it phases out like the hybrid vehicle tax credits).

Effective January 1, 2009."]]>Apr 21st 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/Apr 21st 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/Apr 21st 2009 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/Apr 21st 2009 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/Apr 21st 2009 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/bee-one-electric-car-to-be-tiny-cheap-and-cute/
