Self employed

From your screenshot, it appears that your tax on Line 24 is from self-employment tax, not income tax. 

 

Nonrefundable credits such as the Clean Vehicle Credit can only be applied to income tax. The self-employment tax (what you pay instead of Social Security withholding as a self-employed person) is added to your return after any credits are deducted from income tax.
