Brace yourselves, eco-warriors and EV enthusiasts! On October 1, 2025—the dreaded Zero Hour—the federal $7,500 tax credit on electric vehicles vaporizes into thin air, turning bargain Tesla dreams into showroom Cinderella tragedies. August 2025 sales zoomed to a historic 146,332 electric cars, a nearly 18% jump year-over-year, powered by consumers racing like it’s an episode of Apocalypse NOW with Donald Trump’s administration playing climate change scorched-earth villains. As President Trump kneecaps renewable energy support faster than you can say 'carbon footprint,' real-world EV prices are poised to surge. It’s a turbocharged cautionary tale on wheels, sparked by politics and fueled by desperate last-minute sales.
