But these have already had a massive impact on the automotive industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The priorities of automobile original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) operating in the US shifted to electrification after President Biden\u2019s 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/08\/05\/fact-sheet-president-biden-announces-steps-to-drive-american-leadership-forward-on-clean-cars-and-trucks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">executive order<\/a> mandating that 50 percent of all new vehicle sales be battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell electric vehicles (BEVs, PHEVs, and FCEVs respectively).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vision of the executive order is to increase market share of zero-emission EVs to gain important climate benefits and promote local clean-energy jobs. Yet consumer adoption of EVs requires affordably priced offerings and widely available charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most expensive component in an EV is the battery, so the pivot by the US federal government and automotive OEMs toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/us-en\/insights\/research-library\/what-makes-the-us-a-top-location-for-gigafactory-production\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">domestic manufacturing capacity<\/a> aims to drive EV prices down and get vehicles to market faster with lower costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US federal government and many state administrations support the transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and have funded a variety of tax credits and incentives. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, both passed in 2022, provide funding to assist automakers and partners to scale manufacturing capacity, establish a domestic battery supply chain, and build a national charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In large part due to these incentives, business leaders have identified the US as the top location for setting up gigafactories. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/us-en\/insights\/research-library\/manufacturing-resilience-reindustrialization-in-the-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent Capgemini survey<\/a>, 54 percent of automotive, battery, and energy executives are building or planning to build at least one gigafactory in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tax-credits-grants-and-partnerships-drive-investment\"><strong>Tax credits, grants, and partnerships drive investment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To support BEV retail sales, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/save\/electric-vehicles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the federal government<\/a> established an EV sales tax credit program in 2008. This popular initiative offered tax credits up to $7,500 for new EVs, with few restrictions. Due to battery supply-chain constraints during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading automakers <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/07\/20\/tracking-the-ev-battery-factory-construction-boom-across-north-america\/?guccounter=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">committed to local production<\/a> of lithium-ion batteries for BEVs. The 2022 IRA supports this strategy by encouraging sourcing of critical minerals and assembly in the US, rather than relying solely on external supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRA also introduced revised retail-sales <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/credits-deductions\/credits-for-new-clean-vehicles-purchased-in-2023-or-after\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eligibility rules<\/a> and other incentives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Manufacturer\u2019s suggested retail prices cannot exceed $80,000 for vans, sport utility vehicles, and pickup trucks, or $55,000 for other vehicles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A certain percentage of the critical mineral and battery components must have been <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/jy1379\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">extracted or processed<\/a> in the US or a country with which it has a free-trade agreement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Used vehicles are now eligible for tax credits up to $4,000 for sales up to $25,000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/clean-vehicle-tax-credits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New income limits<\/a> restrict who qualifies for the new and used vehicle retail sales incentives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commercial vehicles are now eligible for sales incentives ranging between $7,500 and $14,000 depending on gross vehicle weight ratio (GVWR). There are no battery or mineral sourcing requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The revised incentives were designed to encourage the purchase of domestically manufactured clean-energy vehicles and batteries. The new eligibility limits target the broad \u201cmiddle of the market\u201d and now include used BEVs and commercial BEVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the passage of the IRA, leading automobile manufacturers have redoubled their battery manufacturing and sustainability commitments, investing billions of dollars and constructing massive campuses dedicated to producing lithium-ion batteries for EVS and PHEVs in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tesla. <\/strong>Before the passage of the IRA, Tesla opened its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/blog\/continuing-our-investment-nevada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gigafactory in Nevada<\/a> in 2017 with partner Panasonic Energy. The factory can produce 37 gigawatt hours of output and provides more than 11,000 jobs. Tesla also plans to build at least two new manufacturing facilities with Panasonic Energy to produce Tesla\u2019s new 4680 battery cells by 2030. The 4680 design is touted as being less expensive. Tesla is also investing in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/blog\/tesla-lithium-refinery-groundbreaking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lithium refinery in Texas<\/a> in Corpus Christi. It is expected to provide 50 gigawatt hours of battery cells to support sales of up to one million EVs annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ford. <\/strong>With an incentive from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation\u2019s Michigan Strategic Fund, Ford is increasing production at an existing <a href=\"https:\/\/media.ford.com\/content\/fordmedia\/fna\/us\/en\/news\/2024\/01\/19\/ford-adds-third-crew-to-meet-demand-for-bronco-and-ranger--reduc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">assembly plant<\/a> and building <a href=\"https:\/\/media.ford.com\/content\/fordmedia\/fna\/us\/en\/news\/2024\/07\/09\/blueoval-battery-park-michigan-construction-progresses-alongside.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BlueOval Battery Park Michigan<\/a>, a 1.8-million-square-foot facility that\u2019s on track to produce approximately 20 gigawatt hours annually starting in 2026.
