How Are Federal EV Incentives Changing—and What Does That Mean for Toyota Drivers in Arlington?
Federal incentives for electric vehicles are set to change soon. The Clean Vehicle Credit, which currently provides up to $7,500 in tax savings, is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2025, unless Congress votes to extend it. Additionally, the credit for home EV charger installation will end on June 30, 2026.
If you’re planning to buy a Toyota EV in Arlington, acting ahead of these deadlines could help you take full advantage of what’s still available.
How Is the $7,500 EV Credit Structured and What Determines If You Qualify for the Full Amount?
The total $7,500 credit is divided into two equal parts:
- $3,750 if your EV meets critical mineral sourcing standards
- $3,750 if your EV meets battery component manufacturing requirements
Not all Toyota EVs qualify for the full amount. Some may be eligible for a partial credit, depending on where and how the vehicle was made. Vehicle price and buyer income limits also apply under federal rules.
What Do You and Your Toyota EV Need to Meet to Qualify for These Federal Credits?
To be eligible for the credit, a Toyota EV must:
- Be new and assembled in North America
- Include a battery with a minimum of 7 kilowatt-hours
- Have an MSRP below $80,000 for SUVs and trucks, or $55,000 for other vehicles
Buyers also need to meet IRS income thresholds, and the dealership must report the sale directly to the IRS to activate the credit at the time of purchase.
