PLUG-IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE TAX CREDIT four kilowatt hours and is capable of being recharged from an external source. The vehicle must be used primarily in the United States. For purchases after August 16, 2022, the final assembly of the vehicle generally must have taken place in North America. For a qualified vehicle placed in T he pre-2023 qualified plugin electric drive motor vehicle tax credit is $2,500, plus $417 for a vehicle that draws propulsion energy from a battery with not less than five kilowatt hours of capacity, and an additional $417 for each kilowatt hour of battery capacity in excess of five kilowatt hours. The additional amount cannot exceed $5,000, resulting in a maximum tax credit for 2022 in the amount of $7,500. The tax credit begins to be phased out for a manufacturer that sells 200,000 qualified vehicles for use in the United States. A new qualified plug-in electric drive vehicle is a motor vehicle: 1. Made by a manufacturer 2. Acquired for use or lease by the taxpayer and not for resale 3. The original use of which commences with the taxpayer 4. Treated as a motor vehicle for purposes of Title II of the Clean Air Act 5. Has a gross vehicle weight rating of not more than 14,000 pounds; and 6. Is propelled to a significant degree by an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery with a capacity of not less than service after 2022 and before 2033, the credit is renamed and is now called the Clean Vehicle Credit. The maximum amount of the credit is still $7,500, but it has two components. A $3,750 credit if the vehicle satisfies domestic content requirements for critical minerals in the battery, plus a $3,750 credit if the vehicle satisfies domestic content requirements for battery components. This tax credit is not allowed if a taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income exceeds $300,000 for a married filing joint return, $225,000 if filing as head of household and $150,000 is filing as single or married filing separate, or if the MSRP for the vehicle exceeds $80,000 for a van, SUV or pick-up truck, or $55,000 for any other vehicle. Since electric vehicles are generally more expensive than combustion engine vehicles, this tax credit is essential to help bring down the cost. It is still very difficult to predict over the long run whether or not it will be more costly to operate an electric vehicle versus a combustion engine vehicle. It will simply depend on the cost of electricity versus the cost of gasoline. How long an electric vehicle battery will last and the cost to replace it will be another issue to contend with down the line. Joseph D. Cataldo is an estate planning/elder law attorney, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, AICPA Personal Financial Specialist and holds a master’s degree in taxation.
