That decision means electric vehicles that are not in compliance with battery sourcing rules could be eligible for $7,500 tax credits sometime in March. The Treasury also said it will by Dec. 31 “release information on the anticipated direction of the critical mineral and battery component requirements that vehicles must meet to qualify for tax incentives.”

The department noted that under the law “the critical mineral and battery component requirements take effect only after Treasury issues that proposed rule.” General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc vehicles again become eligible for EV tax credits on Jan. 1 after Congress in August lifted the per-manufacturer cap on EV tax incentives.
