Senator Barrasso’s remarks:
“U.S. taxpayers are subsidizing the electric-car industry. The cost to taxpayers is billions of dollars.
“These subsidies have lasted now for nearly 30 years.
“In 2008, Washington added the tax credit for purchases of electric-vehicle.
“The market was still small but worth encouraging.
“But today, the market for electric vehicles is well established.
“The auto industry no longer needs these pricey subsidies for electric vehicles.
“I believe it is time to pull the plug on subsidies for electric vehicles.
“Leading manufacturers including General Motors, Ford and Volkswagen have announced plans to massively increase investment in the electric-vehicle market.
“Global automakers are promoting electric-car luxury brands, such as Bentley, Aston Martin, Maserati, Porsche and Cadillac.
