It depends. Just because you get a refund, that does not mean you don't have any more tax liability. For example, if you pay in $10,000 for your federal taxes every year, and get a refund of $1,000, you would still have a tax liability of $9,000 which would make you fully eligible for the $7,500 EV credit if you qualify. In this situation, your refund would jump to $8,500 instead of just $1,000.
If you pay in $3,000, have a $0 tax liability and you get $3,000 back, then you will not be eligible for the EV credit.
The only real way to have a higher tax liability is to have more income or fewer deductions or credits. If you would not take your other deductions or non refundable credits, it would not help you to get bigger EV refund since you would be just giving up one credit for another credit with the same net refund.
