Yep. That $7,500 tax credit was a big deciding factor on us buying the Honda Plug-In. Being a tax credit, not just a deduction, offset the tax on a whole lot of our 2018 taxes. A Tesla buyer who takes delivery after July 1 (Monday) will only get $1,850 tax credit. GM EV buyers have until Oct. 1 to get the full $7,500. Other brands- check with the dealers to see when they'll deliver the 200,000th unit and the incentive disappears.

Yep, same here, though I have a Chevy Volt it's just like your car, both EV and gas. Around home, we never ever exceed the range of ~60 miles electric, so, 100% electric which is Solar powered. Solar was to power the house, but then we added some capacity to also power car). Over the course of a year, we make more electricity than we use, including the Volt. As Jim mentions, there is never any worry, car plugs in (if we use it on a given day) after we get back home, and, in the morning, it's long ago done charging. If we forget to plug it in (it certainly has happened), it texts me to say please plug me in.
The $7,500 tax credit was THE factor for us getting the car 2 years ago.
On our recent road trip to much of Utah, allowing for crosswinds getting there and back, and, allowing for highway speeds with mountains, we got around 42mpg on gas, which isn't too shabby for such a heavy car. Once we got to Zion Springhill, they had 6 chargers and the charge was free. So, all our driving for the week was "free". Then we went up to Park City, where, Summit Watch did not have any chargers, but, the places we hiked did, so, charged for free. As did the grocery store, so again, we paid nothing for all the time there.
Definitely not sorry we bought the car, our favorite car ever. It can be fun even to blow away Gas cars from a stoplight. Ok, I didn't say that.
