"Federal EV Tax Credit Limited to 10 Electric Car Models in 2024"

Starting January 1, 2024, only ten electric car models will qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act. The regulations require that eligible clean vehicles must not contain battery components or critical minerals that are manufactured, assembled, extracted, processed, or recycled by a foreign entity of concern (FEOC). The applicable percentages for battery component and critical mineral requirements will increase over the years. Additionally, there are several electric car models that will be eligible for half of the federal tax credit. The complex rules and regulations surrounding the tax credit may deter prospective electric car buyers and create uncertainty in the market.

Implications of US Tax Credit Changes on Electric Vehicles

Tesla is warning buyers that certain versions of its Model 3, including the rear-wheel drive and long-range models, may only be eligible for half of the $7,500 EV tax credit in the US. The warning comes after new government guidelines clarified tax credit requirements, stating that if a company uses battery components from a foreign entity of concern (with at least 25% ownership from Iran, China, North Korea, or Russia), they will lose the credit starting next year. This affects Tesla's Model 3 due to its batteries from China. The industry sees this as good clarity, but concerns remain about the development of a native ecosystem for battery components and materials in the US.

Starting April 18th, only six electric vehicles (EVs) will qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit, as per the new guidelines released by the IRS.

The list is expected to grow as automobile manufacturers make changes to meet the rules, but the rules will grow stricter over time.

Navigating the Confusing World of EV Tax Credits: What You Need to Know.

New guidance issued by the Treasury on the Inflation Reduction Act means several electric vehicle models may no longer qualify for the federal tax credit of up to $7,500. The credit amount will depend on whether the vehicle meets the critical mineral and/or battery component requirements. Vehicles assembled in North America that exceed a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price of $80,000 for a van, pickup truck, or SUV, or $55,000 for any other vehicle are eligible. The critical mineral requirement mandates a predetermined percentage of the value of the critical minerals contained in the battery must be extracted or processed in the U.S. or in countries with which the U.S. has a free trade agreement.

Stricter EV tax credit rules to limit eligibility and impact climate agenda.

Eligibility for clean vehicle tax credits for electric vehicles (EVs) could be reduced or lost due to new rules that impose critical mineral and battery component sourcing requirements. The proposed guidance requires 50% of the value of battery components to be made or assembled in North America in 2023, reaching 100% in 2029. Additionally, 40% of the value of critical minerals in the battery must be extracted or processed in the US or a country with which the US has a free trade agreement, or be recycled in North America. The new rules are meant to lower costs for consumers, build a resilient industrial base, and spur manufacturing in the US.

US government tightens eligibility for EV tax credits.

The US Treasury Department has issued stricter electric vehicle (EV) tax rules that will reduce or cut tax credits on some zero-emission models but grant buyers another two weeks before the new requirements take effect. The rules are aimed at weaning the US off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of US new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or plug-in hybrids. The EV battery sourcing guidance issued on Friday triggers new requirements for critical minerals and battery components and takes effect for vehicle purchases starting April 18.
