I bought an electric vehicle on Dec 26, 2017. Is there any way I can claim the credit for 2018? Otherwise, can I re-file my 2017 taxes or something? (prefer 2018 tho...)

I did not have 7500$ of tax liability in 2017 (much less actually), but I do have more than 7500$ in tax liability for 2018.

Even though Dec 26 is just a few days before 2018, is it definitely forbidden to file for the tax credit in 2018? And if a 2017 return is my only option, is it simply a matter of mailing in a 8936(2017) form with form 1040X to the IRS?

Thanks so much in advance!
