A group representing major electric vehicle and battery manufacturers urged President-elect Donald Trump not to kill tax credits for electric vehicle sales and production, citing the impact on key states that voted for the Republican.
The Zero Emission Transportation Association – whose members include Rivian, Tesla, Uber, Lucid, and Panasonic – said production tax credits have driven enormous job gains in states like Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Georgia, and warned killing those production and consumer tax credits would undercut those investments and hurt American job growth.
ZETA Executive Director Albert Gore said the tax credits are critical to “actually compete to win against China.”
