Center for Industrial Progress President Alex Epstein reacts to the Biden administration pushing electric vehicles on 'The Bottom Line.'
All six of the General Motors electric vehicle models with prices that qualify them for the new federal EV purchase tax credits will be eligible for the full $7,500 amount.
The Treasury Department has released the list of 22 models that qualify for all or part of the credit.
The new rules set thresholds of $55,000 for cars and $80,000 for trucks and SUVs and require that the batteries are assembled in North America with at least 40% of their critical minerals sourced locally or from U.S. free trade partners.
A $3,750 credit is available for vehicles with North American-made battery packs that do not meet the mineral sourcing requirements.

The Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Bolt EV, Chevrolet Bolt EUV, Chevrolet Equinox EV, Chevrolet Blazer EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV trims come in under the price caps will get the full amount, but some fall outside the price range, as do the GMC Hummer EV pickup and SUV.
A GM spokesman told FOX Business its broad eligibility is largely the result of "early investments in battery cell manufacturing and localizing that to the U.S. through our Ultium Cells LLC joint venture with LG Energy Solution, as well as our strong partnership with current supply partners."

Many automakers have accelerated their investments in U.S. and North American electric vehicle manufacturing in order to take advantage of the new tax credit program, which runs through 2032.
