[John Allen]

That Happened to me also.  If you go to http://Thomas.loc.gov
<http://thomas.loc.gov/>  it takes you to a searchable database of all
bills.  HR1 information is on the homepage.    Click the link and then HR1
under appropriations located in the left column.

 

Sorry about the link

 

John

John,

This was a temporary file from your search and doesn't exist any more.  What
sources & terms did you use to search for to find it?
Thanks,

Gary

Anyone following the tax credit news and progress for EVs?  Looks like the
first version was only for new electric vehicles from qualified
manufacturers, but now S271 seems to include "kits" which I'm sure is meant
for the Prius plug-in modules, but may include conversions.  I'm going to
meet with a lobbyist today to talk about some of this stuff, but let me know
if you have further insight.
Thanks,

Gary

Senate Bailout Bill, Oct. 2008
- Adds up to $7500 tax credit for new electric cars.

FREEDOM Act of 2009, bill S271
- Doubles the number of electric cars allowed (now 500,000) and expands
beyond conventional four-wheel automobiles to include three-wheel and
two-wheel vehicles, as well as low-speed neighborhood electric cars.
Electric vehicles like ZAP's Alias and others would receive a tax credit
equal to a percentage of the purchase price up to $4,000.

Plug-in conversion kits would now also qualify for up to a $4000 tax credit.


As the bill presently reads, 'qualified' manufacturing facilities that turn
out either completed plug-in vehicles and/or components for those vehicles
are 100 percent deductible if placed into service before January 1,2012.
Similar facilities placed in service after this date, buy prior to January
1, 2014 are eligible to claim 50% of the cost of construction.

Starr added: "There are many smaller automakers that are making plug-in
transportation today and these tax incentives would allow Americans to
jump-start the adoption of electrics immediately. The Small Business
Administration says up to 80 percent of new jobs in America are created by
small business and 90 percent of all innovation is created by entrepreneurs.
It is critical that Congress supports more automotive innovation in the US
and we ask Americans to urge their Federal representative to move quickly to
pass this legislation and make it go into effect immediately."
