"But a complex web of requirements, including where vehicles and batteries must be manufactured to qualify, is casting doubt on whether anyone can receive the full $7,500 credit next year."

And this is my problem and why I think this won't really help much, just why does it need requirements! Just give it to everyone! What's the point of making it harder on something you're trying to get popular!

O and let's not forget IT'S A TAX CREDIT! people really don't understand this, it's not a discount! So not only may the vehicle you want not qualify but if it does you won't get the credit for a good while which will definitely cause confusion for some people, o and let's not forget that it's for a product most people buy with a loan...

Yes it will help people but the tax credit in my opinion is a halfass solution and we need something better, EVs are still more expensive then ICE and until that's solved they won't be as popular. I think the government should look into different ways of lowering prices.

Not to mention EVs are too small! You know what would boost their appeal a ton making them bigger since well most Americans don't want small cars(I personally think that's asnine but I'm not the majority) like look at the EVs on market they're just sedans and a few crossovers, where's the big SUVs? not to mention most of the crossovers are on the small side.

Basically my point is a LOT more needs to be do to boost their appeal if they're to be the majority.

The web of requirements is to reduce the economic pain felt on workers during the transition and to take advantage of a new industry growth being in country instead of outsourced.

It's requirements like union made, made in the US, etc.

Doesn't it become a credit at point of sale at some point though? I know it's not immediately in 2023 though.

Idk about the federal one but in my state we also have a tax credit for it and I believe it's up to the dealership if they what to do it like that which makes it more confusing.
