The ELITE Vehicles Act repeals federal tax credits for purchasing new electric vehicles, used clean vehicles, and commercial clean vehicles. It also eliminates the tax credit for installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure. These changes apply to vehicles purchased or with a binding contract entered into 30 days after the bill's enactment. The bill directly affects consumers and businesses that previously used these credits to offset the cost of electric vehicles and charging stations.
HR 312, the Restoring Vehicle Market Freedom Act of 2025, repeals five tax credits related to clean and alternative fuel vehicles from the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, it eliminates credits for previously owned clean vehicles, alternative motor vehicles, alternative fuel refueling property, new plug-in electric vehicles, and commercial clean vehicles. This change means individuals and businesses purchasing or installing qualifying vehicles or infrastructure will no longer be eligible for these tax incentives. The repeal applies to vehicles or property acquired or placed in service after the bill's enactment date.
This bill prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from authorizing renewable fuel credits for electricity generated from renewable sources to meet transportation fuel requirements under the Clean Air Act. It also bans the use or transfer of any such credits generated before the law takes effect. The policy directly affects renewable energy companies and entities that previously sought to use electricity-based credits toward transportation fuel compliance. The key mechanism is a clear EPA directive preventing both the creation and utilization of these specific credits for transportation fuel mandates.
This bill imposes a $550 tax on each heavy battery module (over 1,000 pounds) and a $1,000 tax on each electric vehicle sold by manufacturers, producers, or importers. It directly affects EV manufacturers and battery suppliers, with taxes applying to sales after December 31, 2025. Revenue from these taxes will be transferred to the Highway Trust Fund. The bill excludes hybrid vehicles that use both internal combustion engines and rechargeable batteries from the electric vehicle definition.
This bill changes how unobligated funds from two federal transportation programs must be used. It restricts National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program funds to highway construction, bridge repairs, wildlife crossing structures, and commercial vehicle parking projects, while blocking prior uses. It also redirects unused charging infrastructure grant funds to states proportionally based on their existing highway funding apportionments. All funds remain available until their original expiration date and cannot replace other state transportation funding. The bill applies to both current unobligated funds and future fiscal year allocations under these programs.
This bill repeals two federal programs that provided funding for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. It eliminates the grant program for charging/fueling stations under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and terminates the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program. The bill specifically removes authorization for new grants, cancels unspent funds, and prohibits future use of federal money for these programs. As a result, the federal government will no longer fund or support the development of EV charging networks through these specific mechanisms.
The GRID Act repeals federal requirements that would have mandated electric utilities to implement EV charging programs. It removes specific provisions from the 1978 Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act related to electric vehicle infrastructure, including standards for utility EV charging mandates. This directly affects electric utilities by eliminating federal directives about EV charging and ratepayers who might have faced potential cost increases from such requirements. The bill effectively prevents federal imposition of EV charging mandates on utilities.
HR 2566, the "End Taxpayer Subsidies for Electric Vehicles Act," would repeal the federal tax credit that currently allows consumers to reduce their income tax when purchasing new electric vehicles. This credit, known as the clean vehicle credit under Section 30D of the Internal Revenue Code, has directly affected buyers of qualifying electric vehicles by lowering their purchase costs. The bill removes this credit entirely, meaning future buyers would no longer receive this tax benefit for new electric vehicle purchases. The repeal would apply to vehicles placed in service after the bill's enactment date, with minor technical adjustments to other tax code sections referencing the repealed credit.
This bill repeals the federal tax credit for purchasing new electric vehicles by removing Section 30D from the Internal Revenue Code. It directly affects individuals who would have claimed this credit when buying a new EV, eliminating the $7,500 tax benefit for qualifying vehicles placed in service after the law's enactment. Key provisions include deleting references to the credit throughout tax code sections and making conforming amendments to other provisions. The change takes effect for vehicles purchased after the bill becomes law, ending the federal subsidy for new EV buyers.

HR 1513, the "Unplug the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Program Act," terminates two existing federal programs that funded electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The bill repeals the authorization for grants supporting EV charging stations and eliminates the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, which distributed funds to states for building charging networks. It also rescinds unobligated funds previously allocated to these programs. This bill directly affects the Department of Transportation's ability to support EV charging infrastructure development through these specific funding mechanisms. The policy change removes federal financial support for expanding public EV charging networks under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
