Federal EV Incentives
⚠ *Federal tax credits for EV purchases (the $7,500 new credit and $4,000 used credit) have expired as of September 30, 2025 and are currently unavailable.
This means:
-
No federal tax credit at purchase for new or used EVs right now.
-
Federal incentives may be revived by future legislation, but not available at this time.
