Motoring: USTR backs efforts to strengthen US EV industry despite objections – Gulf Digital News
The US Trade Representative's office said on Friday it was committed to legislation strengthening the domestic electric vehicle industry despite objections from Mexico and Canada over a proposed tax credit for electric vehicles built by US union workers.
The proposed $12,500 electric vehicle tax credit would include $4,500 for EVs built in the United States by union workers, effective after 2027. It is included in the Biden administration's sweeping climate and social spending legislation now under consideration by Congress.
Canadian trade minister Mary Ng told Reuters on Friday that Canada still had some room to maneuver to persuade US senators to block the US Senate from approving the specific U.S. union-made EV provision passed by the house of Representatives.
