US Carmakers Push for EV Tax Credits to Be Phased Out Over Several Years

Automakers are lobbying against Washington lawmakers ending popular electric-vehicle tax credits that President Donald Trump has railed against, pushing instead for a gradual phase-out over several years if he moves to cut them.

General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. are among the carmakers and industry lobbying groups making pilgrimages to ask the Trump administration and Republican legislators to preserve some EV incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act passed under Joe Biden, according to people familiar with the effort who weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
