I purchased a used 2021 Ford Mach-E EV in Oct. 2022. Can I claim the federal tax credit for EVs?

No, 

used vehicles are only eligible for Tax Year 2023.

 

According to the IRS:

 

"Beginning January 1, 2023, if you buy a qualified used electric vehicle (EV) or fuel cell vehicle (FCV) from a licensed dealer for $25,000 or less, you may be eligible for a used clean vehicle tax credit (also referred to as a previously owned clean vehicle credit). The credit equals 30% percent of the sale price up to a maximum credit of $4,000.

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.

Purchases made before 2023 don't qualify."
