CAR-BUYING QUESTIONS
Can I still get the used EV tax credit?
No. The federal used clean vehicle credit, like the new and lease-related credits, ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. If you bought a qualifying used EV before that date, ask a tax professional or check IRS.gov about claiming it. For purchases now, look into state or local programs, since a few states and utilities offer used EV rebates or charging incentives. Check afdc.energy.gov and your state energy office for what is currently available.
