NS Internal version of the Better Rebuilding Act passed last week includes a tax credit for used electric vehicles, a new dividing line at 40 kWh and an even more controversial bonus taken by the union. You can bet the following two things will be discussed when it comes to the Senate starting this week.
Catalytic converters are why hybrids have become a prime target for thieves. Specifically, it’s the precious metals in it, and the 2004-2009 Prius is one of the models with the highest value composition.
