Re: Replace Your Ride
Dealerships are gouging buyers and so reducing participation. 
Buyers end up paying more taxes which further reduces demand.  
CARB could buy (Fiat 500e's) directly from auctions for the same
amount ($4500) as the current maximum rebate and allow participants
to pay much less, and at the same time sell twice as many EV's.  
This could be advertised on billboards, i.e.:

"(3 year old) Fiat 500e EV low miles, $2500 to low income qualified
buyers to replace older cars."
  
Leases should not be restricted.  I was low income and was not
allowed to do a lease which made it much more difficult to also get
the Federal EV Tax credit via a lease.  This unfairly cost me more
money but did not prevent me from getting the same Replace Your
Ride rebate I qualified for.

Also please repeal the regressive EV $100 registration tax, and
increase the gasoline and diesel tax to help fund more EV adoption
and reduce pollution.
