Prohibition of Government Support for Electric Vehicles and Infrastructure

The "Bullets Not Batteries Act" aims to prohibit the use of funds and authorities from the Defense Production Act of 1950 to support electric vehicles, their batteries, charging stations, and the acquisition of critical minerals for their manufacturing. This means the federal government will be unable to use these specific tools to promote the development or production of electric vehicle technologies, potentially impacting their deployment and availability.
