What is Clean vehicle credit?

In short

The clean vehicle credit gave up to $7,500 for buying a new qualifying electric vehicle and up to $4,000 for a used one. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ends it for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025.

Key takeaways

  • The credit for commercial clean vehicles ends on the same date.
  • Income limits and vehicle price caps applied while it was available.
  • Buyers could transfer the credit to the dealer to reduce the purchase price.
