It's not just EV sales that are picking up speed thanks to the government's electrification efforts. Soon, more electric car components could be built in the U.S., potentially reducing the industry's reliance on dangerous and expensive mining abroad.

Battery recycling is getting a big boost from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. That's because of a clause in the legislation titled the "Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit" which grants 10 years' worth of tax credits for the domestic manufacturing of battery cells and modules. Under the provision, batteries recycled in the U.S. qualify for subsidies, regardless of their origin. The benefits of those subsidies are twofold, as automakers who use U.S.-recycled battery materials will also qualify for EV production incentives.
