(WASHINGTON, DC) – A new analysis from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) finds that repealing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) would threaten 130,000 American jobs tied directly to auto manufacturing, plus an additional 310,000 indirectly related jobs, by 2030. The research shows that these job losses would impact manufacturing states across the country, with particularly severe effects in areas that have attracted billions of dollars in investment in electric vehicle and battery manufacturing, including Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, Nevada, and California. This week, there are plans to implement 25% tariffs on imported vehicles in the United States to encourage the on-shoring of manufacturing jobs. But ICCT’s new study, “How the Inflation Reduction Act is driving U.S. job growth across the electric vehicle industry,” demonstrates there is already a policy in place that has begun a manufacturing renaissance, with billions in investment already announced and American jobs already materializing. Specifically, this study examines the potential economic impact of repealing key EV-related tax credits, finding that the elimination of these provisions could dramatically slow the transition to electric vehicles and undermine domestic manufacturing growth and job creation.
