Trump's Plan to End EV Tax Credit Sparks Industry Concerns

President-elect Trump's proposal to eliminate the $7,500 EV tax credit could reshape the U.S. auto industry landscape.

  • The $7,500 EV tax credit, part of the Inflation Reduction Act, has significantly boosted electric vehicle adoption in the U.S.
  • Tesla, led by Elon Musk, supports the removal of the tax credit, which could hurt competitors more than Tesla itself.
  • Legacy automakers like Ford and GM rely on the credit to offset EV production costs, making its repeal a potential setback.
  • Industry experts warn that removing the credit could delay U.S. EV market growth and give China a competitive edge.
  • Congressional approval is needed to repeal the credit, with potential resistance due to its economic benefits in key states.
