Bill 118 hr 4469, also known as the No Fuel Credits for Batteries Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to eliminate the ability for electric vehicle manufacturers to receive fuel credits for the production of batteries.

Under current law, electric vehicle manufacturers are able to receive fuel credits for the production of batteries, which can then be used to offset their overall fuel consumption. This has been seen as a way to incentivize the production of electric vehicles and promote the use of cleaner energy sources.

However, proponents of Bill 118 hr 4469 argue that this system unfairly benefits electric vehicle manufacturers and distorts the market for fuel credits. They believe that by eliminating fuel credits for batteries, it will level the playing field for all types of vehicles and encourage a more fair and competitive market. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that removing fuel credits for batteries could hinder the growth of the electric vehicle industry and slow down the transition to cleaner energy sources. They believe that the current system of fuel credits is necessary to incentivize the production of electric vehicles and promote sustainability. Overall, Bill 118 hr 4469 is a controversial piece of legislation that seeks to address the issue of fuel credits for batteries in the electric vehicle industry. It will be interesting to see how this bill progresses through Congress and what impact it may have on the future of electric vehicles in the United States.
