Congress could generate billions of dollars in new revenue when cutting taxes on Biden-era electric vehicles (EVs). This is what the Energy Research Institute (IER) shows.
The draft of the new report, first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, highlights how to eliminate clean vehicles Tax Credit Program What was launched under former President Joe Biden would create new opportunities to generate more revenue under the Trump administration. As Congress continues to debate about key budget adjustment packages, the IER reports that elimination of these credits could potentially increase federal revenue by $25-300 billion from 2026-2035.
Other reports like Cato’s March analysis Discovering the costs of removing the entire Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the IER report excludes savings from eliminating the EV tax credits under the aforementioned bill. If the 2027-2032 fuel emission standards are not adopted, the estimate is $360 billion, or $25.5-28.8 billion if so.
“This is an obvious example of a policy that hurts American families by increasing the costs of new vehicles and creating inflation that is stealing money from their pockets.” IER president Tom Pyle told DCNF. “Government needs to get out of the business of choosing winners and losers, both in industry and in the market.”

“The Inflation Reduction Act has swelled into one of the largest governmental Bundogurus in history,” Pair said in an IER statement in the report. “It was originally estimated that taxpayers would sacrifice $370 billion in energy-related subsidies. The new forecasts make a much more surprising picture. …A significant explosion of this spending is just the runaway tax credit for electric vehicles, the $300 billion.
House GOP leaders support a single comprehensive bill that packages all Trump’s tax and spending priorities into what the president has produced “one big, beautiful bill.” If spending cuts or new tax revenues are not balanced, these tax proposals are increase According to the Nonpartisan Committee for Responsible Federal Budget, the federal deficit is between $5-11 trillion over the next decade.
“No one Republican supported the IRA. This new analysis is a wake-up call and a roadmap,” Pyle said. “It’s time for Congressional Republicans to use settlements to abolish the IRA, prevent future tax increases, reduce inflationary pressures, and fulfill their promise to put economic power in the hands of American families.”
“Restoring the pre-IRA tax credit structure between 2026 and 2035 will recover federal revenues of approximately $300 billion,” Pyle continued in a statement. “It’s real money that could be returned to taxpayers, and can drive private sector innovation, job creation and consumer-driven growth, rather than pouring taxpayer dollars into a narrow government-oriented economy.”

Under Biden’s Watch, the IRA paid large amounts to left-wing organisations, routed millions of dollars in taxpayer dollars to grant solar panel projects in America’s most unfair locations. Despite taxpayer cash injections and bill price tags surged between 2022 and 2024, IRA-backed industries like offshore winds struggled, but the White House originally claimed “IRAs are “.Reduce deficits. ”
“When you negotiate in Congress about the upcoming budget settlement measures, the IRA is a sign that it can be taken away from corporate peers and instead used to reduce taxes that promote broad growth,” Travis Fisher, director of energy and environmental policy studies at the Kato Institute, told DCNF.
Trump says “National Energy Emergency“On the first day of his second season, he said,Unleashing American energy“In early March, they called for the end of the Green New Deal, unlocking the full energy potential of America and reducing costs for American families.
