🚗 Clean Vehicle Tax Credit: Save Money While Driving Green

Thinking about buying an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle for your business or personal use? The Clean Vehicle Tax Credit could help you save up to $7,500 on your taxes.

✅ Who qualifies?

1. Buyers of new eligible EVs and plug-in hybrids
2. Some used clean vehicles (up to $4,000 credit)
3. Businesses purchasing clean commercial vehicles
4. Leased vehicles may also qualify

📅 Credit eligibility depends on income limits, vehicle price caps, and where the car was assembled. The credit is nonrefundable, meaning it can reduce your tax bill—but won’t generate a refund beyond what you owe.
