Maybe I’m being cynical, but I think the new EV tax credit got whittled down in negotiations to the MSRP, income and battery mineral source and component source restrictions in the law about to be passed by senators who were bent on limiting EV incentives.On one side of the fence. That's the point, push manufacturers to make a cheaper EV.
On the other side of the fence. If it's not profitable for automakers to make an EV...they won't.
Only last weekend, during the Senate consideration of the Inflation Reduction Act, Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Nebraska) unsuccessfully proposed an amendment to the new EV tax credit in the legislation that would have prohibited it from being used for any vehicle costing more than $42,000. Shocked to subsequently read that Nebraska ranks third in corn production used to make the ethanol fuel additive.
