  • Battery Manufacturing for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles: Policy Issues
    Battery Manufacturing for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles: Policy Issues Bill Canis Specialist in Industrial Organization and Business April 4, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41709 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Battery Manufacturing for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles: Policy Issues Summary The United States is one of several countries encouraging production and sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to reduce oil consumption, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA; P.L. 111-5) provided federal financial support to develop a domestic lithium-ion battery supply chain for electric vehicles. Some of these companies have brought on new production capacity, but others have gone bankrupt or idled their plants. While early in his Administration President Obama forecast that 1 million plug-in electric vehicles would be sold by 2015, motorists have been slow to embrace all-electric vehicles. At the beginning of 2013, about 80,000 plug-in electrics were on U.S. roads. In making a national commitment to building electric vehicles and most of their components in the United States, the federal government has invested $2.4 billion in electric battery production facilities and nearly $80 million a year for electric battery research and development. To increase sales of such vehicles, the President has recommended that the current $7,500 tax credit for purchase of a plug-in hybrid be converted into a $10,000 rebate, available at point of sale to car buyers upon purchase of a vehicle.
