WASHINGTON — When it comes to electric vehicle incentives, should the federal government play favorites?
Legislation that would tie additional EV tax credits for consumers to vehicles assembled in unionized U.S. factories has stirred up discussions over preferential treatment.
The bill — dubbed the Clean Energy for America Act — was advanced by the Senate Finance Committee in May and includes a proposal led by Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan that would allow car buyers to receive as much as $12,500 for EVs assembled by union workers at U.S. factories.
