The passage of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" by Republicans removes federal support for electric vehicles, ending the EV tax credit for new and used vehicles post-September 30. Despite the bleak policy environment, advocates emphasize the pressing need to refocus discussions on technology, job creation, and competitiveness rather than solely on climate concerns. Recent advancements in EV technology, increasing manufacturing capabilities, and decreasing costs provide optimism for the future, reinforcing that the transition to electric transportation is inevitable, making current policy the determinant of the timeline rather than its feasibility.
If you care about climate, don't lead with climate. That's not what's winning in transportation electrification right now. Instead, focus on EV technology, jobs and competitiveness with China.
If you read all the headlines, it would sound like this is the worst thing ever and soon the electric car will be gone. But that's just not really true.
The technology is getting better, manufacturing is scaling up and costs are coming down—all big moves in the right direction.
The future of transportation is electric, and it's no longer a question of 'if,' it's just a question of 'when.'
