The tax credit forgives that amount of your taxes! Great deal! Definitely helps pay for the upgrade from hybrid to Energi!
We drove several hybrids and Energis before we bought. They both drive great. Biggest difference is being able to plug in the Energi! We are getting from 20 to 24 miles of all electric range and after that is used up it drives like the regular hybrid! We do realize that we won't get as many miles per charge in colder weather. We charge at least once each day, and are enjoying saving lots of gas dollars!! Looking forward to plugging in at campgrounds too, as Golden HVAC suggested! :)
