Right before the government rebates on EVs ended as well, odd.

Not according to the article.

It doesn't say that it was right before that rebate program ended no, but this story has been mentioned more than once, and that's the context.
To be fair, I was under the impression that it was all EV's but apparently it's only Tesla's.

EDIT: Actually, that link I provided link to an earlier article from the 18th.

No, the article very clearly states this was in January and precipitated from the government saying they didn't expect the funds to last to the end of the program.

Rebates ended because they cash grabbed the money
