"Granholm Warns That Cutting EV Tax Credits Would Be ‘Ceding’ To China"

"Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm warned Friday that President-elect Trump’s reported plans to cut consumer subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs) would benefit China.

“You eliminate these credits, and what do you do? You end up ceding the territory to other countries, particularly China,” Granholm told reporters at the COP29 global climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan.

“If we want to stand by and watch offshoring again and cede this territory, then we don’t have an industrial strategy,” she added. “But if we want to compete, which we’re doing and we’re doing successfully, then we keep these incentives in place.”

On the campaign trail, Trump did not say whether he would want to cut the tax credit of up to $7,500 for consumers who buy the climate-friendly automobiles."
