魁北克省萨格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2023年12月4日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)对美国财政部于2023年12月1日发布的关于《通胀削减法》（“IRA”）中清洁车辆条款的建议指南表示赞赏。
First Phosphate首席执行官John Passalacqua表示，“First Phosphate自成立以来，一直在诠释IRA的法律精神。在过去的几年里，我们一直在不懈努力，在北美建立一个完全本地化的磷酸盐矿，以完善磷酸铁锂（”LFP“）电池行业的供应链。我们在这一目标上进展顺利，已经完全有能力在美国政府规定的时间内实现这一新的现实。
“通过这一新指南，美国政府明确表示，希望看到北美本地电池供应链的发展，并有意阻止所有试图利用IRA套利的行为。外国相关实体可以单独或与外国合作伙伴一起在美国自由贸易区落户并向美国电池行业供应零部件的漏洞已被有效堵住。此外，美国汽车制造商可以有效获得IRA补贴，同时仍从外国投资中心进口大量电动汽车零部件的其他规避办法也基本上被排除。”
Passalacqua指出，“最后，也是最重要的一点是，规定厢式货车、皮卡或SUV的制造商建议零售价不得超过80,000美元，其他车辆不得超过55,000美元。这意味着，具有价格和安全优势的LFP电池将成为一种在北美蓬勃发展的电池化学产品。全套汽车制造和装配已被明确要求返回美国，以便造福当地社区和就业”。
