Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022, which allocated millions to combating climate change and other energy provisions while additionally establishing a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles. To qualify for the subsidy 40% of the critical minerals used in electric-vehicle batteries must be sourced in the U.S. EU and South Korean officials argues that the subsidies discriminated against their automotive, renewable-energy, battery and energy-intensive industries. Proponents argue that the tax credits will help combat climate change by encouraging consumers to purchase EVs and stop driving gas powered automobiles. Opponents argue that the tax credits will only hurt domestic battery and EV producers.

I think before helping people with Electric vehicle purchase by subsidies taxes, invest in the Cycling lane safety and extension of cycle lane should be the first step. You don't go anywhere with a beautiful Electric Bike if there is no safety and road. To build a house you need to start from the ground.

I do not believe the country or even the world is ready to hyper focus on the use of EVs until we are more confident in the technology and ensuring we can future proof the use of batteries and microchips being used
@9ZNBCPN1wk1W
No, but public charging should be made more widely available to reduce range anxiety rather than require bigger batteries.
@9ZMM8LL1wk1W
Yes, and subsidies should be increased and proportional to your income. VRT on zero emissions vehicles and low emissions vehicles should also be abolished.
@9ZL4JQH2wks2W
Yes, so long as the EVs are safe and long lasting, with efforts being made to replace the fossil fuels being used to charge them with green alternatives.
@9ZJMRZY2wks2W
Depends how the electricity for the vehicle is produced
@9ZJ4RLC2wks2W
No, people that afford EVs can afford the tax they pay
@9ZHHCQQ2wks2W
I think more charging facilities and education re same need to be implemented before there’s an additional charge/saving
