Proposed Changes to the Federal EV Tax Credit Passed by the House of Representatives

EV Adoption

The current tax credit has a base of $2,500 and is replaced with a new $4,000 base credit as long as the EV has a battery of at least 10 kWh and can be plugged in and recharged. And GM will increasingly produce its battery cells in two joint-venture plants with LG Energy Solution, located in Lordstown, Ohio and Springhill, Tennessee.
