the tax credit didn't incentivize ANY EV, there were North America assembly standards that had to be met to qualify. so do you want manufacturing back in the US or not? make up your fuckin minds.
in the bigger picture, this ridiculous 4-year yoyo of legislating everything with simple majority budget bills is not sustainable. we can't build anything like this.
It's pretty clear that what they say they want, and what they are actually working towards are not the same.
I agree they have no legitimate plan and are just fumbling with a bunch of idiotic moves and call it governing, but I also agree with the other commentor that these credits aren't as great as people think because manufactures have time and time again raised prices by amounts equivalent to these credit amounts (like when Biden revamped the expiring credit system) so all we're really doing is subsidizing these major corporations with our tax dollars.
That’s called lying.
