On Friday, the Treasury Department released long-anticipated eligibility
guidance for the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit in the Inflation
Reduction Act. The rules could have major implications for the fight
against climate change, Washington’s rivalry with Beijing, and President
Joe Biden’s quest to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States.
POLITICO’s James Bikales breaks down what the rules mean for consumers,
automakers and U.S. allies. Plus, EPA approves a Biden-backed California
rule that phases out diesel trucks.
