    Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offers taxpayers a Clean Vehicle Tax Credit of $3,750 or $7,500 depending on model eligibility for the purchase of a new plug-in electric vehicle. Beginning January 1, 2024, Clean Vehicle Tax Credits may be initiated and approved at the point of sale at participating dealerships registered with the IRS. Dealers will be responsible for submitting Clean Vehicle Tax Credit information to the IRS. Buyers are advised to obtain a copy of an IRS "time of sale" report, confirming it was submitted successfully by the dealer. To be eligible:

    • A vehicle must have undergone final assembly in North America (the United States and Puerto Rico, Canada, or Mexico).
    • Critical mineral and battery component requirements determine credit amount.
    • Maximum MSRP of $55,000 for cars and $80,000 for SUVs/trucks/vans.
    • Income eligibility applies depending on modified adjusted gross income (AGI) and tax filing status.
