Additionally, Level 2 charging is a more energy-efficient method of charging compared to Level 1.

You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV between 2023 to 2032. Under certain conditions between a dealership and a seller, "leasing" a vehicle may allow the purchase to be treated as a "commercial vehicle," thus making it eligible for the full tax credit without satisfying some of the strict program eligibility requirements. Be sure to inquire with the dealership and a tax professional when researching purchase options.

Used Vehicle Clean Credit up to $4,000.
Beginning January 1, 2023, if you buy a qualified used electric vehicle (EV) from a licensed dealer for $25,000 or less, you may be eligible for a used clean vehicle tax credit. The credit equals 30% of the sale price up to a maximum credit of $4,000. Additional Details.

The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years.
