Tax Credits for EV Models
One of the benefits of purchasing an EV is access to federal credits and incentives. Until recently, however, those credits were only available for brand-new EV purchases, which meant the upfront costs of purchasing an EV could be very high.
However, the conditions and requirements surrounding EV tax credits are changing, including pre-owned EV models. A new tax credit of up to $4,000 is now available for pre-owned EV models priced below $25,000. The vehicle must be older than two years, weigh less than 14,000 pounds, and be used primarily in the United States. It must also have a battery capacity of at least 7 kWh.
How Do I Qualify?
In addition to setting requirements for the vehicles themselves, these new guidelines also specify requirements for the owners of the pre-owned EV models. First, you’re not allowed to buy the car for resale, meaning you must use it as the owner for a specific time. You cannot be the original owner and must not have filed for a clean vehicle credit in the last three years.
Lastly, you cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return, and you must fall below a certain annual income to qualify. For individuals, that is $75,000, $112,500 for heads of household, and $150,000 for joint returns.
