![]() The income levels requirement is in place (meaning you need to make $150,000 or less filing solo or $300,000 filing jointly) and, more importantly, the price limit of a vehicle also is in place. We have a write-up explaining this you can read.īecause of a debate over interpretation of the law, the IRS has delayed offering a final ruling on certain aspects until March 31st of this year. The new law removes the 200,000 limit but puts additional requirements (like sourcing of battery materials) on automakers to qualify for the full $7,500. Prior to the law, the government’s initial tax credit had no price or income cap but was limited to 200,000 vehicles per automaker. The Inflation Reduction Act, which passed last year, fundamentally altered the way the government gives credits for buying an electric vehicle. ![]() “If I were to guess, this is an effort to qualify for the tax incentives while getting the largest possible quantity of new cars on the road in 2023,” said Levenson. “A Part of me is excited more people can afford to buy a Tesla and part of me is disappointed for recent customers who had to pay more to buy a car just a couple days ago, especially anyone who purchased in the last 12 days.” “Honestly, I’m not even sure what to make of these changes,” Ryan Levenson, who owns the EV Cannonball Run record in a Tesla and makes videos about EVs, told me in a DM. ![]() Additionally, Tesla also dropped prices on other vehicles in the lineup, even though it may not qualify for tax credits. This move seemingly was done to take advantage of a procedural move by the IRS, which we wrote about earlier, that makes it possible to get the full $7,500 tax credit on a Tesla for a few weeks. To increase the interest in and buying of EVs, Auto Trader called on the government to reduce VAT on used EVs and said lenders should offer lower or interest-free rates on EV financing deals.Tesla has lowered prices of its vehicles seemingly across the board in an unannounced late night move, with prices dropping as much as 23% for a Tesla Model Y Performance and 6.4% for a Tesla Model 3 RWD. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reported 76,233 new battery electric car sales in the first quarter of this year, up 18.8% on last year's levels. While EV owners with a home charger can save up to £130 for every 1,000 miles by charging at off-peak overnight rates, savings reduce to just £40 for those drivers using public chargers, the analysis says.Īuto Trader noted there was still strong interest in second-hand EVs and in fleet sales, where a company would buy cars for employee use or for renting.ĮV sales have broadly increased in recent years as the government's 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars approaches. The number of petrol and diesel models costing less than £30,000 is nine times bigger than the number of EVs, Auto Trader said, and a new electric SUV costs an average of £22,290 more than a petrol one.Īnalysis by the company suggests that the savings drivers can make in running an electric car, as opposed to a diesel or petrol car, have reduced as the cost of oil has come down from the highs after the invasion of Ukraine. Disinterest may be growing as the company said new EVs are 37% more expensive than petrol and diesel cars and there are now fewer new electric models between £20,000 and £30,000 than there were in 2022.
