TL;DR: EV cars & SUVs will face an average 16% effective price increase, with the lowest cost model up more than 28%, if the law passes the Senate and goes into effect as written.

It’s hard to imagine any way this doesn’t throw a huge wrench into the adoption of sustainable car technology for the USA.

Only about 8% of new cars sold last year in the USA were electric, compared to 13% for the EU or 25% for China. Seems like exactly the wrong moment to cut tax incentives for the tech.

      OK, let me ask more pointedly. For what reason did you choose to remove that one specific word? You didn’t just repost an article you saw, you saw the word likely and decided it didn’t belong. Why?

      If it’s a “joke “I don’t get it.
