The list of electric vehicles eligible for a U.S. federal EV tax credit is growing. Nissan announced this week that 2024 Nissan LEAF qualifies for a partial $3,750 credit (the full credit is $7,500.) This is, of course, provided the vehicle meets certain criteria:
- The 2024 LEAF was purchased and placed into service by December 31, 2023.
- The customer meets all purchase and income qualifications for the EV tax credit as outlined in Internal Revenue Code Section 30D.
Nissan says it's been able to certify that 2024 LEAF vehicles produced in the U.S., meet the “battery component” requirements of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and may now qualify for the $3,750 tax credit. The LEAF and its battery are assembled in Smyrna, Tennessee.
"For more than a decade, the LEAF has been one of the most attainable electric vehicles on the market," said Judy Wheeler, divisional vice president, Nissan U.S. Sales and Regional Operations. "Eligibility for part of the federal EV tax credit puts LEAF within reach for even more customers who are ready to make the switch to an EV."
As always, check with your tax professional about any potential federal and state tax credit eligibility before making a purchase.
The 2024 Nissan LEAF offers an EPA-estimated range of 212 miles on a charge. It's on sale now in S and SV PLUS grades and starts from $28,140. Nissan Safety Shield® 360 is standard across the lineup. SV PLUS adds ProPILOT Assist.
