21st Century Vehicle Choice Act

The 21st Century Vehicle Choice Act requires federal agencies to produce reports on vehicle market data and critical minerals for electric vehicles, while increasing tax credits for clean vehicles. It mandates the Commerce Secretary to report on new vehicle variety and pricing trends, the Energy Secretary to track critical minerals needed for EVs annually, and studies on high-gasoline-use vehicles and EV charging station availability. The bill also directly increases tax credits: doubling the new EV credit from $3,750 to $7,500, raising the used EV credit from $4,000 to $8,000, and boosting the refueling infrastructure credit from 30% to 50%. These changes primarily affect EV buyers, automakers, and energy infrastructure providers by altering financial incentives and data transparency around vehicle choices.
