The House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday approved Republican legislation to block certain mineral imports and restrict electric vehicle tax credits.
The committee voted 22-18 for an amended version of West Virginia Republican Rep. Carol Miller’s H.R. 7980, the “End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act of 2024.”
It would block from Inflation Reduction Act incentives any EV that contains materials — namely in its batteries — mined, processed, recycled, manufactured or assembled in a “prohibited foreign entity.”

Miller blasted the law and argued her bill would close loopholes by limiting which entities, individuals and companies qualify for incentives.
