Very Few People Will Benefit From the New EV Tax Credit. That is By Design.

Very Few People Will Benefit From the New EV Tax Credit. That is By Design.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 aimed to accelerate the shift from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) by providing incentives to manufacturers to expand domestic EV battery and vehicle production. These incentives included tax credits to make EVs more affordable for consumers, helping offset the higher initial cost of purchasing an EV compared to a traditional gasoline vehicle. While EV drivers save money in the long run due to lower fuel costs, the upfront cost can be a barrier for many potential buyers. The tax credits provided a $7,500 credit for qualifying EVs with specific price caps and manufacturing location requirements.

However, proposed changes to the EV tax credit would revert to a previous restriction of 200,000 vehicles per manufacturer, potentially excluding many major automakers who have already exceeded this limit. This change could impact at least 85% of EV sales from 2010-2024, leaving only a handful of manufacturers eligible for the credit in 2026. This shift could penalize automakers like Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, who have been leaders in EV manufacturing.

The proposed changes may also benefit certain automakers, such as Honda, who have not yet reached the 200,000 vehicle threshold for qualifying EV sales. The Honda Prologue, assembled by General Motors, would still qualify for the federal EV tax credit in 2026, despite Honda’s slower adoption of EV technology. This carve-out for Honda raises questions about rewarding industry laggards and the influence of industry lobbying on policy decisions.

Rivian, a newer EV manufacturer, may have a short window to take advantage of the EV tax credit, with the credit set to expire completely in 2027. Despite expectations that the 2026 R2 SUV model would meet eligibility requirements, the limited timeframe for the credit may impact Rivian’s ability to offer the incentive to buyers.

Overall, the proposed changes to the EV tax credit have drawn criticism for potentially benefiting the oil industry, slowing EV deployment, limiting consumer choice, and hindering domestic investments in EV manufacturing. By effectively repealing the EV tax credit, with only one exception for a single automaker for one year, the policy change could have negative consequences for the EV market and the environment. Advocates urge Congress to reconsider these changes and prioritize policies that support the growth of the EV industry in the US.
