Should You Buy A New EV Before The $7,500 Tax Credit Expires?
UNITED STATES, JUL 28 – Federal tax credits for new EVs will end at $7,500 and $4,000 for used ones, with eligibility rules limiting buyers and affecting the U.S. electric vehicle market, IRS said.
- The federal government will end the $7,500 tax credit for new electric vehicles and $4,000 for used ones on September 30, 2025.
- This deadline follows recent legislation resetting EV credit expiration to September 30, after earlier reinstatement under the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022.
- Consumers must complete purchases or leases before the deadline to receive credits, which apply only to eligible vehicles meeting price, battery, and income requirements.
- Tesla CEO Elon Musk said credit elimination could hurt sales and cause "a few rough quarters," while dealers anticipate a surge before a possible lull afterward.
- With the credits ending soon, analysts predict a slowdown in EV demand and advise buyers seeking incentives to act before September 30, 2025.
