  • The Department of Energy released a full list of new cars that qualify for an EV tax credit.
  • Only a handful of vehicles are now eligible, provided that buyers also meet certain requirements.
  • The most recent changes went into effect on January 1, 2024.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed which new fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles were eligible for federal tax credits starting on April 18, 2023. At the time, the U.S. Department of Energy released a list of which new vehicles still qualified for tax credits when purchased on or after April 18, but new requirements changed that list for all vehicles put into service on or after January 1, 2024. Here are all the EVs and PHEVs that still qualify for tax credits.

The DoE notes that "the availability of the credit will depend on several factors, including the vehicle's MSRP, its final assembly location, battery component and/or critical minerals sourcing, and your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI)."

While most of these factors determine whether the vehicle is eligible for tax credits in the first place, the individual buyer must also qualify. Per the DoE, buyers must buy the vehicle for their own use and primarily drive it in the U.S. In addition, for new vehicles, your AGI must not exceed $300,000 for couples filing jointly, $225,000 for heads of households, or $150,000 for all other filers. The MSRP must also fall below the maximum threshold set by the bill (note that destination and handling fees, as well as any dealer add-on accessories, taxes and other fees are not included in the MSRP).

All of these rules apply to buyers of new electric vehicles. There are also tax credits available for used EVs and PHEVs — a full list and qualifying information are available on the DoE's website.

There also may be a loophole for shoppers looking to lease (rather than buy) an EV or PHEV that may not be on this list. For full details, check out our article about the ins and outs of electric vehicle tax credits.

Edmunds says

There aren't many all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles that still qualify for tax credits, so it is important to know what's available to save you money. If you're shopping for an EV or PHEV, Edmunds keeps a detailed list of state, local, federal, and manufacturer incentives all in one place.
