2024 EV Tax Credit Changes - The Good, The Bad, And Huh

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
2024 has brought some big changes to America’s EV tax credit scheme. The tax credit can now happen at the point of sale which will cut the amount you may have to finance, and more people will be eligible for the full credit since you no longer have to have a minimum tax liability to get the deal. The downside The number of qualifying EVs has shrunk dramatically due to tightening domestic sourcing requirements and the ban on components sourced from China. Although there are teething troubles with the used EV credit, that’s now online and there’s still the gaping loophole for EV leases regardless of where they are made. I get the complex intent of the various limitations, but in terms of implementation (assuming it's not illegal in some way) they probably should have split the price/component part into a certification stamp. Like, if your income is below a threshold, then you can get $7, 500 off of USEV Gold stickered cars. Cars that could only get half would be USEV Silver stickered (certified) cars. That would make it a two step process (income check car certification) for buyers and a checklist for dealers (which cars can get certified.
This does promote domestic production and producing EVs at lower price points where profit margins are tighter.

In my opinion; Leasing an EV is the way to go cuz of the loop and you get the full 7, 500 right off the price and the depreciation is so high on them to begin with, it doesn't make sense to buy, file for tax rebate and then may not get it and also the depreciation being so high that you are under water in 2yrs time. A PHEV may not be a bad way to go Purchase/Lease as those don't depreciate as much as full EV's and still get either half if not all of the Tax Credit.

I noticed Hertz has the EV Credit label on certain used EVs for sale by them, like the Model 3. I haven't been able to find specifically what the label denotes: is it guaranteed to get it Is it saying that the vehicle fits the requirements in order to get it I'm assuming they've done the work to find out and thus have it labeled to help a buyer decide, but the rep I spoke to didn't know much.

Someone PLEASE enlighten me, but can’t Tesla and other manufactures lower the MSRP to be super lower and then increase the destination charge to make up for the MSRP
For example, couldn’t Tesla price the Model S at $54990 MSRP and then have the destination fee as $20000! From my understanding their are no restrictions for that.

Just did the lease early buyout. You lose a bit due to the lease fees and in my case, I learned that my state double dips on taxing a leased vehicle (first on the full vehicle price, then again on the buyout. But better than nothing, considering that’s what I would have qualified for with my RAV4 Prime.

Hi Alex, I have been shopping for a used 2020 Bolt and from what I am seeing is that the dealers are viewing the 4K as additional profit and not selling the vehicle at a reasonable amount over current wholesale price. I am patient and see quite a bit of 90 day inventory out there.

I'm glad I only buy new and will only buy new going forward but that used EV tax credit sounds like a nightmare.
One more reason why we need direct sales from manufacturers. Let's hope Ford paves the way for this because I absolutely hate having to go to dealerships for service.

I've already seen used EV price listings on the web with an advertised price that includes the POS credit; whether you personally qualify or not. I guess when you get to the lot they say Oh sorry bruh, you don't qualify so this is your price.
reply

So uh. Anyone want to marry me.
I'm curious why they made the AGI cap for used vehicles so much lower than new vehicles. Seems like they'd want to encourage buying used over new if possible for ecological purposes.

12: 40 This is why the Mazda CX-90 PHEV has been such a great lease. Below invoice pricing, $7, 500 EV credit and a high residual. You left Mazda off your list but Mazda Financial Services passed along the tax credit.

Would my pre-IRA Bolt EUV for which the 3yr lease is up this August qualify for the used credit when I buy it out GM was out of new credits at time of delivery in 2021 so none have ever been used on this car.
reply

This year's change to turn the tax credit into what is effectively a point of sale rebate is a godsend for retirees like myself, who can afford to buy a new EV but have a tax liability much less than $7, 500.
reply

Electricity comes from fossil fuels, hence the EV is green is a scam. Next, the dealer will botch up the EV credit paperwork and you will get stuck in the IRS nightmare forever. No thanks.

I bought a used EV in 2023 and claimed the tax credit on my 2023 tax return. I filed jointly with my wife. Does she qualify for a tax credit if she buys a used EV in 2024
reply

Ridiculous how complicated this is. The democrats pushed for an ev tax credit then made so many Confusing restrictions on it, removing many vehicles from qualifying.
reply

Imagine someone with the cash to buy out the lease on day two has a magic loop hole. I'm SURE that was just an oversight. Another straw on the back Biden.

Alex, We were overdue for another episode of Alex on Accounting! In the next installment we await, 'The Chicken Tax Explained'.

I'd like to congratulate the Government for really screwing up how the EV tax credit works, and who/what it applies to.
