The Senate's version of the giant tax and spending bill might eliminate tax credits for electric vehicle purchases even sooner than the House version.

The House bill called for those tax credits to end in late 2025 for some carmakers, and 2026 for others.

The draft that the Senate released over the weekend sets a single termination date: Sept. 30th, three months from now.

The National Automobile Dealers Association has urged Congress to include what they call "a reasonable transition period."

5. Clawing it back ...

I'm surprised that after Elon's tweet, they don't try and claw back tax credits already given. And yeah, it would probably be illegal, but that's rarely stopped them recently.
