Featured Possible future vice president J. D. Vance introduces bill to promote gas-powered vehicles

Only in America: J. D. Vance introduces bill to promote gas-powered vehicles. Let's see what else will be next under this new administration if/when they win the election.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Senator JD Vance (R-OH) has introduced the Drive American Act, which would eliminate over $100 billion in existing electric vehicle (EV) subsidies and replace them with the America First Vehicle Credit to promote gas-powered vehicles made in the United States. As Senator Vance has repeatedly pointed out, the Biden administration’s existing EV subsidies penalize UAW workers who build popular, gas-powered vehicles and the American consumers who wish to buy them.

The America First Vehicle Credit builds on the historic automotive content requirements of President Trump’s U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA). It would provide up to $7,500 for new gas- or diesel-powered vehicles, including hybrids, based on a vehicle’s payload and seating capacity. To qualify, a vehicle must be assembled in the United States with American parts by highly paid American workers. The credit would apply for individuals earning less than $150,000 or married couples earning less than $300,000.
