No. If you purchased the car in 2021 it goes on a 2021 tax return. Do you need to amend 2021?

Would I get the tax credit of 8k if I amend it? How about installing an electric charger at my home?

We do not know what you would get as a result of amending. We cannot see your return. Prepare a 1040X and see what the results are. Then file it if it is to your advantage.
