Battery Sourcing Guidance

Recent guidance has clarified the definition of foreign entities of concern, specifically targeting companies from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. This solid framework significantly restricts the ability of electric vehicles to qualify for tax credits, as any Chinese ownership above 25% disqualifies a company. While there is a minor loophole for low-value materials, the overall structure is robust and aims to keep China out of the U.S. battery supply chain.
