HR 7980 United States House · 118th Congress

End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act of 2024

This bill amends the tax code to exclude certain electric vehicles from federal clean vehicle tax credits. Specifically, it blocks credits for vehicles using drive battery components (or materials processed in the battery) sourced from entities tied to "covered nations" like China, or for vehicles involving licensing agreements exceeding $5 million with such entities. It directly affects EV buyers seeking tax credits and automakers who rely on supply chains meeting these criteria. The change applies to vehicles placed in service after the bill's enactment date, altering eligibility for existing tax incentives.
