Electric Vehicle tax credit: 1)Are leased vehicles eligible? 2)Do I qualify for any credit if the cost of our vehicle was greater than the $55,000 MSRP Requirement?

1)Are leased vehicles eligible? NO.  Only purchased vehicles are eligible for the EV Credit.

2)Do I qualify for any credit if the cost of our vehicle was greater than the $55,000 MSRP Requirement? Yes.  The credit is based on the MSRP, NOT the price you actually pay.   If it was a van, SUV or Pickup Truck, then yes, the amount is up to $80,000.  If it was anything else, then the $55,000 MSRP applies.

That (e.g. no credit for leased vehicles) settles it then. Thanks for the response and info Vanessa!
