Deductions & credits
You may be eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for a new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or up to $4,000 for a used one, provided the vehicle meets specific requirements regarding battery capacity, MSRP, final assembly in North America, and your income. Traditional hybrids that do not plug in generally do not qualify.
