No, you cannot claim the credit since the 2023 EV that you purchased in 2024 is not 2 years earlier than the calendar year when you bought.

No other credit is available for the vehicle purchased.

You can claim the sales taxes paid for the vehicle as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.  However, the total of all your itemized deductions on Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.
