The article discusses a proposed Republican plan to eliminate key U.S. electric vehicle (EV) tax incentives, which could significantly impact the EV market starting in 2026. Specifically, the $7,500 tax credit for new EVs would end 180 days after the budget bill's passage, the tax credit for leased EVs produced outside the U.S. would be removed immediately, and the $4,000 tax credit for used EVs would expire 90 days after the bill is signed.
