Legislation Analysis
The new One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) has fundamentally reshaped EV incentives, making the $7,500 tax credit contingent on unprecedented supply chain visibility. This new legislation is a wake-up call for American automakers, who must now trace every input — up to 99.9% of which have China or Russia supplier exposure past Tier 1 — to avoid losing eligibility.
