Electric vehicles with batteries containing minerals and materials sourced from China will no longer be eligible for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit starting January 1, 2024, according to new guidelines from the IRS. This will impact popular EV models such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E and certain versions of the Tesla Model 3.
