Congress has taken up a new EV Tax Credit proposal that brings a host of improvements to the existing bill including a significant increase in the vehicle cap that would put Tesla and GM back on the list for available incentives. With their usual introspection, EV Power Podcast hosts Peter Ciani and Rich Taber take up the subject as the opener to a three-topic episode that includes news from the newly formed automotive super group Stellantis on the Pacifica PHEV minivan and the Wrangler EV concept. In case you’re wondering, Stellantis launched from the merger of FCA and Groupe PSA with the stated intention of being “a world leader for a new era of sustainable mobility.”
