Under Senator Manchin’s proposal, the EV tax credits would have less to do with cars sold, and more to do with domestic supply and production, favoring EVs sourced and made in America.

Tell (automakers) to get aggressive and make sure that we’re extracting in North America, we’re processing in North America and we put a line on China,[..] I don’t believe that we should be building a transportation mode on the backs of foreign supply chains. I’m not going to do it.

The proposal states eligible EVs can’t contain Chinese components after 2023. By 2024, 50 percent of the metals used in EV batteries have to be mined and processed in the U.S., or a country under a free trade agreement with the U.S., which rules out China.
