Self employed

Great question re EV credits, and great to ask them ahead of time.  There are a lot of factors to consider and one of them is your income.  

Some other qualifications:

  • Used car must be plug-in electric or fuel cell with at least 7 kilowatt hours of battery capacity.
  • Only qualifies for the first transfer of a vehicle.
  • Purchase price of car must be $25,000 or less.
  • Car model must be at least two years old.
  • Vehicle must weigh less than 14,000 pounds.
  • Credit can only be claimed once every three years. 

I’m including references to two easy to read articles that will talk through the various items to consider.
