I just learned about this US Congress Bill that is looking to increase the incentive for US made EV's and used car conversions. I am sorry if I am bringing up an old topic, but it looks like this bill will give $12,000 for the purchase of a new EV and $12,000 for a conversion of an ICE to an electric vehicle look at section B and E. Am I reading the bill wrong?
