The Hidden Subsidy in Every Electric Vehicle

Episode 17 of Climate Economics with Fexingo digs into the quiet, multi-billion-dollar subsidy baked into every electric vehicle sold in America: the federal tax credit. Lucas and Luna explore why automakers like Tesla and General Motors have already hit the 200,000-vehicle cap, while Ford and Rivian still benefit. They break down the Treasury's complex battery sourcing rules unveiled in May 2024, which disqualify most current models from the full $7,500 credit. And they ask a pointed question: when the subsidy phases out, does the EV market collapse, or does it finally stand on its own? A sharp, numbers-driven episode that reveals how much of the green transition is actually government-funded. #ElectricVehicles #EVTaxCredit #Tesla #GeneralMotors #Ford #Rivian #InflationReductionAct #BatterySourcing #CriticalMinerals #TreasuryDepartment #Subsidies #GreenPolicy #CarbonEmissions #ClimateEconomics #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimatePolicy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
