Unfortunately credits like the Electric Vehicle credit can only be applied to your income tax due. They don't have any effect on your self-employment tax. Since you are self-employed the amount of tax that you are left with after the EV credit is applied is the social security and medicare that is due on your self-employment income. The EV credit can't be used to reduce that.
