Uncertainty over President-elect Donald Trump’s plans for federal tax credits and loan programs supporting American electric vehicle manufacturing could stall Tennessee’s fast-growing electric vehicle and clean energy industries, analysts say.

    Seriously. We have these $7500 tax credits on expensive luxury EVs, but you don’t get that level of support if you’re interested in a more modest vehicle.

    Here’s an idea for a tax credit. How about a $2k tax credit for e-bikes? That will pay for the entire cost of a decent entry-level e-bike. E-bikes really are what is needed to make active transport approachable in the US’s sprawling suburbia. You could even sell it to people as, “get an e-bike. Use it on whatever trips you can. No risk to you.”
