"Electric Carmakers Turn To Congress As Tax Credits Dry Up" [1]
"The future of electric cars is in Congress’s hands, with lawmakers divided over whether to extend a popular tax credit.
Electric car manufacturers are only allowed to offer a federal tax break on their first 200,000 vehicles sold under a 2009 law, and many are now hitting that cap, most notably Tesla.
That’s setting off a fight in Congress, where Democrats are eager to extend the breaks and help the growing electric car industry but Republicans hope to end what they see as an unnecessary subsidy."
