Common Questions

EV Tax Credit FAQ

Everything you need to know before buying an electric vehicle in 2025.

How much is the federal EV tax credit in 2025? +
The federal EV tax credit in 2025 is up to $7,500 for new qualifying EVs and up to $4,000 for used EVs purchased from a dealer. These credits were established under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and apply to vehicles meeting domestic assembly and battery component requirements. Eligibility also depends on your Adjusted Gross Income and the vehicle's MSRP.
What income limits apply to the new EV credit? +
For new EVs, the AGI income caps are: $150,000 for single filers, $225,000 for head of household filers, and $300,000 for married couples filing jointly. The IRS uses either your current or prior-year AGI — whichever is lower — to determine eligibility.
What are the MSRP limits for the EV credit? +
The vehicle's Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) must not exceed: $55,000 for sedans, wagons, and cars; $80,000 for SUVs, crossovers, vans, and pickup trucks. Vehicles priced above these limits are not eligible for the federal credit regardless of income.
Can I use the EV tax credit as a point-of-sale discount? +
Yes — since January 1, 2024, you can transfer the credit to a participating dealer as an immediate point-of-sale discount. This means you get the savings upfront, even if your tax liability for the year would have been lower than the credit amount. Ask your dealer if they participate in the IRS transfer program.
Are state EV rebates separate from the federal tax credit? +
Yes. State rebates, credits, and exemptions are entirely separate from the federal IRA credit and can be stacked on top of it. California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Maryland offer some of the most generous state-level incentives. Check your state's page on this site for a detailed breakdown.
What qualifies as a "used EV" under the IRS rules? +
A qualifying used EV must: be at least 2 model years old at time of purchase, be purchased from a licensed dealer (not a private seller), have a sale price of $25,000 or less, and be the first time the vehicle is being sold under the used credit. The buyer income limits are lower for used EVs: $75,000 single, $112,500 head of household, $150,000 married.
Do leased EVs qualify for the tax credit? +
Leased EVs fall under commercial vehicle credit rules. The credit goes to the leasing company (lessor), not the lessee. However, many dealers and manufacturers pass the savings on as lower monthly payments or a capitalized cost reduction. If you're leasing, ask the dealer how they account for the commercial credit in your lease terms.
