Bullets Not Batteries Act

The Bullets Not Batteries Act (HR 7601) prohibits the use of federal authorities under the Defense Production Act of 1950 for electric vehicles, electric vehicle batteries, charging infrastructure, and related critical minerals. This means federal agencies cannot use this law to fund or support electric vehicle projects or the minerals needed to build them. The bill directly affects how the government allocates resources through the Defense Production Act, excluding electric vehicle initiatives from eligibility. It does not change other federal programs that may support electric vehicles.
