ZETA Statement on the EV Tax Credit

November 15 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. – ZETA Executive Director Albert Gore released the following statement in response to reporting about the incoming Trump administration’s plans regarding the EV Tax Credits:

“Production credits like 45X have driven enormous job growth and new economic opportunities across the country, but particularly in battery belt states like Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Georgia. If the United States is going to continue to fight to bring those jobs here and actually compete to win against China, there needs to be a demand signal - like the New Clean Vehicle Tax Credit - aligned with that goal, otherwise we would be undercutting those investments and hurting American job growth.”
