In my previous article, Proposed Changes to the Federal EV Tax Credit Passed by the House of Representatives , I outlined and analyzed 13 proposed changes to IRC 30D (federal EV tax credit).

The Biden administration has announced three major pro-EV initiatives in recent months—a revamping of the federal tax credits , an infrastructure funding package , and new EPA emissions standards. GM has made a commitment to 100% zero-emission vehicles by 2035, the same with Ford. GM and Ford have big roles in China, in Europe.
