The U.S. electric vehicle market faces uncertainty a year after federal tax credits for EV purchases were suspended, leaving consumers and automakers navigating a shifting landscape. With incentives that had previously boosted adoption now on hold, industry analysts are assessing how long-term trends and state-level policies may fill the gap.

Buyers weighing high upfront costs against long-term savings are also reconsidering their options amid the policy change.
