Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I forsee the auto industry fighting this tooth and nail. They invested in EVs for many reasons, but partially because the tax credit is there. Pulling the tax credit now will be yet another blow against the auto industry.
My guess at how this plays out is that they'll drop the tax credit, then spend even more on corporate subsidies.

Please at least just phase it out instead of immediate elimination.
Eliminating it at this time would mean there is a pretty large demo who want to go full EV or at least PHEV for their next vehicle but they won't be able to as easily.
For example if you're driving a late 90s or early 2000s car, you practiced austerity and deferred maintenance over the last decade to survive financially and/or build savings, your current vehicle may be on its last leg.
This means that during that time, your tax money subsidized a bunch of rich douchebag early adopters to get themselves a Tesla Plaid, and now it's finally your turn to dip a reluctant toe into the new car market, and for your trouble you get tariff-induced price hikes and evaporating EV credits.
The oil industry bribes are too loud for them to hear your complaints, peasant.
