House Passes Bill to Tighten EV Tax Credit Rules Targeting Chinese Components
The legislation aims to prevent foreign entities of concern from benefiting from U.S. electric vehicle subsidies.
- The U.S. House of Representatives approved the End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles Act with a 217-192 vote.
- The bill seeks to exclude EV batteries sourced from foreign entities of concern, like China, from U.S. tax credits.
- Seven Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the bill, which now awaits Senate consideration.
- Critics argue the bill could reduce the number of vehicles eligible for tax credits and impact emission targets.
- The Biden administration opposes the bill, claiming it would raise taxes, threaten jobs, and undermine efforts to combat climate change.
