Looks like the US EV market just hit the gas (or… battery?). Since Congress passed the “Big, Beautiful” bill in July — killing the $7,500 federal EV tax credit after September 30 — people are scrambling to lock in their purchases before the deadline. CNBC says July’s EV sales made up 9.1% of all passenger cars sold in the US, which is the highest ever. Even used EV sales broke records, with nearly 36,700 sold that month. Dealerships must be having a field day right now. The rush makes sense — $7,500 off is huge, especially with interest rates still high. But the flip side? Analysts think Q3 might smash all-time sales records, then Q4 could be a total nosedive once the credit’s gone. Feels like a weird moment: EV adoption’s been gaining momentum for years, and now the government’s basically yanking away one of the biggest incentives. Gonna be interesting (and maybe a little ugly) to see what happens to prices and demand after October 1. #EVs
