魁北克省薩格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2023年12月4日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)對美國財政部於2023年12月1日發布的關於《通脹削減法》（“IRA”）中清潔車輛條款的建議指南表示贊賞。
First Phosphate首席執行官John Passalacqua表示，“First Phosphate自成立以來，一直在詮釋IRA的法律精神。在過去的幾年裏，我們一直在不懈努力，在北美建立一個完全本地化的磷酸鹽礦，以完善磷酸鐵鋰（”LFP“）電池行業的供應鏈。我們在這一目標上進展順利，已經完全有能力在美國政府規定的時間內實現這一新的現實。
“通過這一新指南，美國政府明確表示，希望看到北美本地電池供應鏈的發展，並有意阻止所有試圖利用IRA套利的行為。外國相關實體可以單獨或與外國合作夥伴一起在美國自由貿易區落戶並向美國電池行業供應零部件的漏洞已被有效堵住。此外，美國汽車制造商可以有效獲得IRA補貼，同時仍從外國投資中心進口大量電動汽車零部件的其他規避辦法也基本上被排除。”
Passalacqua指出，“最後，也是最重要的一點是，規定廂式貨車、皮卡或SUV的制造商建議零售價不得超過80,000美元，其他車輛不得超過55,000美元。這意味著，具有價格和安全優勢的LFP電池將成為一種在北美蓬勃發展的電池化學產品。全套汽車制造和裝配已被明確要求返回美國，以便造福當地社區和就業”。
