Dear Plug In America,

We need you to contact your Senators and Representatives right now! As a part of the legislative action to keep the government running, the House and the Senate will be voting today on whether to also include a package with tax credits for EVs. This package, S.2256, the Tax Extender Act of 2017, includes a two year extension of the 30% tax credit for EV charging infrastructure for homes and businesses and the 10% tax credit for 2-3 wheeled electric motorcycles. Both credits are retroactive to include purchases made since Dec. 31, 2016.

We want Congress to support these two tax credits, but they could do more. We also need them to lift the cap on the $7,500 EV tax credit . That isn’t yet in the bill—but could be added in with your support.

The moment is now - support S.2256.

Right now, each car maker is limited to receiving the credit for 200,000 vehicles. Tesla and Chevrolet will both hit their limit soon and others like Nissan are not far behind. We need to seize every opportunity we can to tell Congress to lift that cap now . This will ensure that more plug-in electric vehicles get into consumer hands faster and more affordably while creating good paying jobs for Americans and helping local economies.

We need your help – every voice counts. Support S.2256 now and complete the info below.

Thank you – please share this action alert widely!
