Earlier this year we shared new, stricter rules for vehicles to qualify for a federal clean vehicle tax credit. It's meant fewer vehicles qualify but the list is growing from its initial list at the beginning of the year. Here's a brief look at the changes that went into effect January 1st.
New Tax Credit Rules for 2024
Point of Sale Tax Credits - Good News For Consumers
Effective January 1st, a new rule allows point of sale federal tax credits. This is good news for car buyers as it means they don't have to wait until they file their taxes to get the credit. They can get the credit at the participating dealership when they buy the vehicle.
Tighter Battery Component Rules Mean Fewer Vehicles Quality
The EV tax credit already had rebate guidelines for batteries sourced and built in America (or in a country with which we have a free trade agreement.) In 2024, regulations take it to the next level with a new provision that disqualifies any vehicle containing battery components from a so-called “foreign entity of concern” (FEOC). China is considered a FEOC. The rule expands to battery minerals in 2025.
Updated List Of Eligible Vehicles
As of June 17, 2024, these are the vehicles that qualify for either a full $7,500 or partial $3,750 credit.
On March 6, 2024, Nissan announced that 2024 LEAF vehicles sold on or after March 6t, 2024 have regained tax credit eligibility and may be eligible for part of the U.S. federal EV tax credit.
