Ways and Means
Co-Sponsors: 9–9 Democrats

The bill extends the electric vehicle tax credit for 10 years, eliminates the per manufacturer cap of 200,000 vehicles, and provides a 10-year extension of tax credits to incentivize deployment of critical alternative fuel charging infrastructure. It also enhances consumer choice by allowing consumers to take advantage of the tax credit for the next 10 years or apply the credit at the point of sale.

This bill addresses Green New Deal goal 2(H)p.9 to remove emissions from the transportation sector as much as possible.
