I wonder what the wider impact of this will be on American EV production.
A lot of things in that space (and, well, literally the rest of American society) depended upon assumptions about the regulatory and incentive structure that the legislative implementation of Project 2025 is tearing apart.
EDIT:
An example of this would be a local battery plant near me that just opened. It's currently the largest in the US. It was built with the understanding that certain subsidies would exist and that people would be buying electric vehicles. Does that factory get built without the incentives that the BBB is scrapping? Probably not.
- SoftTalker 1y agoThere is a rapidly growing market for battery storage outside of EVs. They will likely be fine.
- lenerdenator 1y agoThere is, but is it at the price point an American factory in a medium COL city can produce?
- mook 1y agoIt's probably an issue for lots of things outside EV production too. What happens to corn that's already been planted if the subsidies suddenly stop a month before harvest?
