Federal EV Tax Credit: Save Thousands on Your Electric Vehicle Purchase

Yes, there is currently a significant federal tax credit available for electric vehicles that can put thousands of dollars back in your pocket. This government incentive is designed to make electric vehicles more affordable and accessible to American car buyers.

How Much Can You Save?

The federal clean vehicle tax credit offers substantial savings:

  • Up to $7,500 tax credit for qualifying new electric vehicles

  • Up to $4,000 tax credit for qualifying used electric vehicles

Two Ways to Use Your Tax Credit

You have flexibility in how you receive your EV tax credit savings:

Option 1: Instant Savings at Purchase Transfer the credit directly to our dealership and receive an immediate discount on your vehicle price. This means you'll pay less upfront and need a smaller down payment.

Option 2: Claim on Your Tax Return Keep the credit for yourself and claim it when you file your federal income taxes next year. This is ideal if you prefer to handle the credit yourself or want to maximize your tax refund.

Why Does This EV Tax Credit Exist?

The Purpose Behind the Federal EV Incentive

The federal electric vehicle tax credit was originally created as part of a comprehensive strategy to promote EV adoption and make electric vehicles more affordable for American consumers. The goal was to accelerate the transition to cleaner transportation by removing one of the biggest barriers to EV ownership: the higher upfront cost compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles.

This incentive has been successful in encouraging more Americans to consider electric vehicles, helping to:

  • · Reduce dependence on fossil fuels

  • · Lower transportation emissions

  • · Support the growth of the American EV manufacturing industry

  • · Make cutting-edge electric vehicle technology accessible to more families

Why the Credit is Ending Soon

Important timing update: The EV tax credit was originally scheduled to remain available until the end of 2032. However, recent policy changes have significantly accelerated the expiration timeline.

President Donald Trump, who campaigned on reducing EV incentives and related policies promoting electric vehicle adoption, signed legislation in July 2025 that moved the expiration date up dramatically—from December 2032 to September 30, 2025.

What This Means for You

This policy change creates an urgent opportunity for anyone considering an electric vehicle. Instead of having several more years to take advantage of these substantial federal savings, you now have only until September 30, 2025 to qualify for up to $7,500 in tax credits.

If you've been on the fence about going electric, this compressed timeline makes now the ideal time to explore your options and secure these significant federal savings before they disappear.

Who Qualifies for the Federal EV Tax Credit?

Available Nationwide with Specific Requirements

This is a federal (countrywide) tax credit, meaning it's available to eligible buyers in all 50 states. However, there are specific eligibility requirements you'll need to meet to qualify for these savings.

Income Eligibility Requirements

Your modified adjusted gross income must fall below certain thresholds, which vary based on your tax filing status:

For New EVs (up to $7,500 credit):

  • Single filers: $150,000 or less

  • Head of household: $225,000 or less

  • Married filing jointly: $300,000 or less

For Used EVs (up to $4,000 credit):

  • Single filers: $75,000 or less

  • Head of household: $112,500 or less

  • Married filing jointly: $150,000 or less

Helpful tip: You can use your income from either the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the previous year—whichever is lower.

Vehicle Price and Manufacturing Requirements

Not all electric vehicles qualify for the tax credit. Your EV must meet these specifications:

Price Limits:

  • Vans, SUVs, and pickup trucks: $80,000 MSRP or less

  • Sedans and other passenger cars: $55,000 MSRP or less

  • Used EVs: $25,000 or less

Manufacturing Requirements:

  • Must have final assembly in North America

  • Must meet specific battery component requirements

  • Must meet critical mineral sourcing requirements (components cannot be sourced from certain foreign entities)

Bonus: Stack State and Local Incentives

While the federal credit is available nationwide, many states offer additional EV incentives that can be combined with the federal tax credit for even greater savings. These may include:

  • Additional state tax credits or rebates

  • Reduced vehicle registration fees

  • Access to carpool lanes

  • Utility company rebates for home charging stations

The result: Depending on where you live, you could potentially save significantly more than the federal $7,500 by combining multiple incentive programs.
