Today in Gear: End Your Week Here

In 2024, U.S. car buyers will be able to apply an EV tax credit directly to the price of their vehicle — at the time of purchase. The federal tax credit will launch on January 1, 2024 and allows EV buyers to apply up to $7,500 to the price of an eligible new vehicle, and $4,000 for used EVs. The catch? The car’s battery must be made in the U.S. As a result, of the 45 different EV models currently for sale in the United States, only 10 will qualify for the credit. Nevertheless, it’s still a great way to save on a handful of models, and hopefully paving the way for better EV pricing to come.

Today we’re taking a look at a wooden knife sheath set, a camp rug and the Polar Vantage V3. This is Today in Gear.

So before you hit the road, consider copping a camp rug. Puebco’s version is hand loomed and made with recycled fabrics. It’s all you need to add a snug touch to your tent floor, and it will make slipping and sliding between cots, sleeping pads or whatever else all the cozier.

Not sure what to get your super-cool nephew, or that friend that really, really has everything? Well, consider gifting the A.P.C. x JW Anderson Afternoon Mug. At the very least, the recipient will be absolutely shocked, and likely at a loss for words. That said, at $175 it may feel like a bit of a stretch, but the flex you’ll feel will be absolutely priceless.
