In the United States, an important support measure for electric cars is coming to an end: the federal tax credit of $7,500 will no longer be available for many models. The incentive was designed to speed up the shift to electric mobility and has helped keep sales moving in recent years.
The market now faces a tougher phase. Higher sticker prices could weigh on buyers, while automakers may have to rely more on discounts, leasing deals and new sales strategies. The story matters in Italy too, because it shows how much incentives still influence the final cost of EVs.
