Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

Engine Rust
I purchased a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS in Houston about a month ago. When I bought it I noticed a light coating of rust on the bare metal of the engine block. I informed the Sales Manager before purchasing, and he explained that this is normal because the bare metal is exposed to air and would wear off after normal use and as the engine is heated during normal wear and tear. He said I shouldn't try to paint as the heat build up would just peel the paint right off. I now have 1500 miles and there is still a rust coating. The truck was manufactured in Canada around November 2000 and only had 87 miles on it at purchase. It must've been sitting idle for a couple of months. Is there any cause for alarm or will the rust coating eventually wear off?
