Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
It’s no secret that Republican and Democrat policies on EVs, solar, and climate action are extremely different. Lately, there’s been some weird warping of which policies are better for Tesla. Well, Rohan Patel felt the need to chime in to get the discussion back on track.

Despite being a big win for EVs, that led to early leaders having their subsidies phase out sooner than others’. Most notably, it affected Tesla and GM and buyers of their EVs could no longer get any federal subsidies — while buyers of EVs from other brands still could.

Again, though, if Biden and Democrats had done nothing, you could get the $7,500 tax credit on EVs like the Kia EV6, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Ford F-150 Lightning, etc., but not on Tesla vehicles.
