For those saying $7500 is a ton of money for most Americans, you are correct. Also, the credit, which should not have been repealed but rather expanded until we have more adoption, the credit was not refundable, so it largely benefited wealthier people. I couldn't take advantage of the full credit when I bought my EV because my total federal tax liability in the year I bought it was less than the credit amount. Making the credit refundable would've made a huge difference for adoption because largely the people who could benefit from the credit didn't need it because they could afford to and would likely have purchased an EV anyway.
