I agree that the outcome of the new Green bill will affect RAV4 Prime prices, but I don't think that it will be because of the new bill excluding PHEVs. Primarily, the bill simply extends the previous tax subsidies for Tesla and GM, from covering 200K EVs sold, up to 600K EVs sold. So I don't think that there were any new provisions listed in the bill for eliminating PHEV credits. But I do think that if the Tesla Model Y and Chevy Bolt prices are effectively dropped by $7,000 then the added competition could have an effect on Toyota's RAV4 Prime MSRP, and dealer surcharges. It is good that Toyota is producing more RAV4 Primes, and that dealers are dropping their extra "greed" markups, but that was inevitable as EV competitors like those above and the Ioniq 5, VW ID.4, Ford Mach-E, Nissan Ariya, and others start hitting the streets. I am hoping that the RAV4 Prime shifts to follow Toyota's additional $3700 price premium for the PHEV Prius Prime over the regular hybrid Prius. With the RAV4 Hybrid starting around $28K, that would potentially put the RAV4 Prime's price at around $32K, before incentives, which would be a killer EV bargain.
