Nafisa Lohawala, a fellow at Resources for the Future, examines what’s new about the EV tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act and how the updates to the credits might affect the US market for EVs in the near and long term. Read more about the electrification of the transportation sector in a report coauthored by Lohawala.
