U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown Opposes Biden Administration's Decision on Electric Vehicle Tax Credit
In a statement released today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) expressed opposition to the Biden Administration's decision to allow the electric vehicle tax credit to go toward cars made using a key battery component from China. The Treasury Department's final rule allows electric vehicles with batteries made using graphite and other minerals from China to qualify for EV tax credits. Brown has been advocating for American tax dollars to support American workers and has called on the president to ban Chinese electric vehicles in the U.S. He emphasized the importance of American manufacturing and workers, stating that tax dollars should not enrich Chinese companies. Brown is leading efforts to prevent China from infiltrating the American auto industry and has urged President Biden to ban Chinese-made electric vehicles to protect Ohio autoworkers and combat economic and national security threats.
