Tell me about proposed federal legislation concerning EV incentives and their timetable.

As of November 8, 2026, no federal EV purchase credit is in force. The new-vehicle credit (Section 30D) and the used-EV credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (signed July 4, 2025). The home charger credit (Section 30C) ended June 30, 2026. The main proposal to bring back incentives is H.R. 10881, the 21st Century Vehicle Choice Act, introduced by Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) on October 22, 2026. It would double the new-EV credit to $15,000 (two $7,500 halves, tied to critical-minerals and battery-component sourcing), raise the used-EV credit to as much as $8,000, raise the home and public charger credit from 30% to 50%, tighten income limits, and make all three permanent. It applies only to vehicles placed in service after enactment. Its own release is on Landsman's House page. As of the reports I found (late October to November 6, 2026), it has only been referred to three House committees: Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, and Natural Resources. Landsman's 2024 version never left committee. A competing Democratic bill from Reps. Sean Casten and Mike Levin would restore the $7,500 credit through 2032, and a broader House package has more than 160 cosponsors. A Senate measure from Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto also exists. Electrek's analysis says the bill has no path to passage under the current Congress, and any restored credit would also need to get past a presidential veto. Timetable: the bill has no scheduled votes. The current Congress is in its final stretch, and the next one convenes in January 2027, when any new credit bill could be introduced. Party leaders have not set a 2027 plan for EV incentives. For buyers today, the practical answer is that no federal purchase credit can be claimed, though a 2025 purchase can still be claimed on a 2025 return. Some states still run their own rebates.
