Nissan, BMW offer Pepco customers EV rebates

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — BMW and Nissan are offering Pepco customers healthy rebates on certain electric vehicle models.

Nissan is offering Pepco customers a $3,000 rebate on the MSRP on the 2018 Nissan Leaf. The all-electric Leaf starts at around $30,000.

Nissan’s offer is available through June 30. Customers are required to prove they’re Pepco customers, and bring along a copy of this flyer to the Nissan dealership.

BMW is offering Pepco customers $10,000 off the best negotiated purchase price of a new all-electric BMW i3 or BMW i3 through July 31. That vehicle’s MSRP starts at around $45,000.

Customers need to complete a Pepco customer form to qualify for the BMW rebate offer.

The offers are also available to Baltimore Gas & Electric customers. Nissan and BMW have similar rebate programs with several other utilities across the country.

The rebates being offered by Nissan and BMW are on top of other EV model incentives.
Buyers could still qualify for up to $7,500 in federal tax credits. Maryland offers up to $3,000 in excise tax credits. In the District, qualified alternative fuel vehicles are exempt from the excise tax imposed on an original certificate of title.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
