About this episode
The episode discusses the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles (EVs) and its implications for the EV market. Industry experts, including Mike Murphy from the EV Politics Project, analyze how this change may slow EV sales, particularly in states heavily reliant on subsidies. The conversation touches on automakers' strategies to maintain demand, such as new leasing programs, and explores the potential for state-level incentives. Additionally, Honda's innovative plans for fuel cells on the moon are highlighted, showcasing the ongoing evolution of EV technology.
Federal electric vehicle tax credits expire at midnight. General Motors and Ford are using their financing arms to offer the federal incentive beyond its expiration. Plus, EV Politics Project founder Mike Murphy talks about the state of electrification as federal support evaporates.
