that won't work.
the EV credit reduces your tax liability and it what is called a 'non-refundable credit"
Since your wife does not work and if she were to file separately, her tax liability would be zero so the credit would not provide any value as there is nothing to subtract from.
Remember that your AGI has to be below the limit either in the current year OR THE PRIOR YEAR. would you qualify based on last year's income?
