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.
