Senators Chuck Schumer from New York and Joe Manchin from West Virginia have reached an agreement on a bill, which could preserve tax credits for consumers looking to purchase new electric vehicles. The deal is a major win for auto manufacturers such as GM, Tesla, and Toyota who will be able to continue offering tax credits of up to $7,500 at the point of sale. The only catch is that the vehicles must be built with minerals extracted and processed in countries with free trade agreements with the U.S. Individuals that make more than $150,000 a year will not qualify for the tax credit.

The game will be available in all of Immersive Gamebox’s locations in Utah, Illinois, Texas, California, Colorado, and Virginia starting on September 21.
