Do you get the Clean Air Credit if you leased an electric vehicle?

To qualify for the credit when you buy a new vehicle you must:

  • Buy the vehicle for your own use, not for resale
  • Use it primarily in the U.S.

For credit when buying a previously owned:

  • Be an individual who bought the vehicle for use and not for resale
  • Not be the original owner
  • Not be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return
  • Not have claimed another used clean vehicle credit in the 3 years before the purchase date
