Biden promotes EV plan with an EV that doesn't qualify

As part of President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Congress authorized tax credits on electric vehicles (E.V.s). Starting January 1, motorists wanting to buy a brand-new E.V. could qualify for up to $7,500 toward their purchase without worrying about factors like whether the manufacturer had already qualified for too many credits.

This week, Biden tweeted a picture to tout the program, grinning from the driver’s seat of a GMC Hummer EV …

But there are some obvious problems with the president’s claims, down to the fact that the truck he’s sitting in wouldn’t qualify for the credit.
