Keep in mind the Alternative Vehicle Refueling Property Credit is non-refundable. If there are zero taxes on your return (1040, line 18) then the credit will be zero. If you still have inputs to make that generate an income tax on line 18, the credit will show up on line 20 to reduce that tax to zero (up to $1000 credit available). Once the tax is zero any remaining credit is lost.
You can preview your 1040 following these steps.
