Electric Vehicle Tax Credits, Rebates, and EV Charger Incentives: A Complete Guide
It's not uncommon to experience sticker shock when shopping for an electric vehicle even though the price difference between EVs and traditional internal combustion engine vehicles continues to shrink.
To encourage the purchase of EVs -- which made up a record 6% of new car purchases in the U.S. last year -- the federal government and 41 states offer incentives (such as tax credits and rebates) that can significantly reduce the cost of buying an EV and purchasing an EV charger.
To help consumers navigate the EV tax credits and rebates available to them, The Ascent has compiled a list of all state and federal EV and EV charger incentives. This list covers non-commercial incentives and does not include terms-of-use rate incentives, emissions inspection exemptions, or other perks for owning an EV like HOV exemptions.
Key findings:
- The federal tax credit for electric vehicles (Clean Vehicle tax credit) in 2023 is $7,500 for a new EV and $4,000 for a pre-owned EV if the EV qualifies.
- Forty-one states plus the District of Columbia offer at least one electric vehicle incentive and EV charger incentive as of 2023.
- Twenty-nine states impose an EV registration fee in addition to regular registration fees as of 2023.
Federal tax credits for electric cars in 2023
The federal government offers tax credits for new and pre-owned EVs. These credits apply to EVs purchased in every state and can be claimed in addition to other state incentives.
These credits are nonrefundable, meaning they can reduce your tax bill but cannot be added towards a tax refund.
The Inflation Reduction Act extended the EV tax credit through 2032.
To claim the federal EV tax credit, tax filers can fill out a Form 8936.
