    The US isn't building factories, private industry does that in anticipation of profits. Govt can make the probability of those profits more favorable.

    And aren't the tax bill requirements a mix of materials sourcing and build content. It's that materials sourcing that will take time.

    Plenty of people don't drive beyond the end of the government-paid road grooming in winter, and don't drive on the groomed highways at times when 2WDs are required to be chained up.

    But plenty of other people do ...

    Positive traction, proper tires and weight seem to work, my father drove RWD in upper Michigan most of his driving career.

    If your car can’t drive it’s likely not a time to be on the roads, with summer treads I encounter those conditions at most 2 days a year.

    Far as I can tell…
    Here's the Energy Dept's list of qualified vehicles for 2022. The Bolt EUV will become eligible in 2023.

    • 2022 Audi Q5 plug-in hybrid
    • 2022 BMW 3-series plug-in hybrid
    • 2022 BMW X5 plug-in hybrid
    • 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
    • 2022 Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid
    • 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning
    • 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E
    • 2022 Ford E-Transit
    • 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
    • 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe
    • 2022 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring
    • 2022 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring
    • 2022 Lucid Air
    • 2022 Nissan Leaf
    • 2022 Rivian EDV

    • 2022 Rivian R1T
    • 2022 Volvo S60 Recharge
    • 2023 BMW 3-series plug-in hybrid
    • 2023 Mercedes EQS SUV
    • 2023 Nissan Leaf
    • As yet the 2023 model list is either incomplete or very short

    • Strange as it seems this bill likely supports PHEVs more than EVs as many trims get cut off the credit, will see if this is really the list after the legal hawks dig through it

    Hummer, S, and X won't qualify because they cost over $55k for sedans and $80k for trucks and SUVs.
