Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

No Fuel Credits for Batteries Act of 2023This bill prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency from authorizing the generation of credits—called renewable identification numbers or eRINs—for electricity generated from renewable fuel for purposes of satisfying the volume of renewable fuel that needs to be contained in transportation fuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard program. Further, it prohibits the use or transfer of such credits that were generated before the enactment of this bill.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Prohibits the EPA from authorizing the generation of renewable identification number (eRIN) credits for electricity from renewable fuels used to power electric vehicles
Bans the use or transfer of any eRIN credits that were generated before the bill was enacted
Aims to prevent electric vehicles from receiving credit under the Renewable Fuel Standard program

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, it would negatively impact electric vehicle owners and automakers, as they would no longer be able to earn credits for using renewable electricity to power their vehicles. This could make electric vehicles less financially attractive compared to gas-powered cars, potentially slowing the adoption of electric vehicles in the United States.
