House Republicans passed a bill to repeal Biden-era tax credits supporting electric vehicle (EV) adoption, which includes removing subsidies for battery manufacturing and instituting a new fee for EV owners. This move comes despite data showing that many Republican voters, particularly in majority Republican counties, actually support subsidies for EVs and solar energy. Surveys indicate that in 140 counties, over 75% of residents favor rebates for energy-efficient vehicles, highlighting a disconnect between some GOP leaders and their constituents regarding green energy incentives.
While GOP leaders have been outspoken in their criticism of Biden era subsidies for green energy and the Inflation Reduction Act, recent data suggests that support for electric vehicle incentives is somewhat prevalent among Republican voters.
According to the latest climate opinions survey, there are 140 majority Republican counties where at least 3 in 4 residents support providing rebates for energy-efficient vehicles and solar panels.
