The federal tax credit: common questions
Is there still a $7,500 federal tax credit for electric cars?
No. The $7,500 new clean vehicle credit ended for cars acquired after September 30, 2025. The IRS counts a car as acquired on the day you sign a binding written contract and make a payment, so only buyers who did both by that date can still claim it. The $4,000 used EV credit and the commercial credit behind lease deals ended the same day.
Can I still get a tax break on an EV?
The home charger credit ended for chargers placed in service after June 30, 2026. Through 2028 you can deduct up to $10,000 a year of interest on a loan for a new, US-assembled vehicle, with income limits. State rebates are what is left for most buyers.
