The recently introduced tax incentives, valid until 2032, were established in the Inflation Reduction Act with the aim of incentivizing more Americans to purchase environmentally friendly cars. Seven additional gas-electric hybrid vehicles are eligible for half of the tax credit, equivalent to $3,750, while individuals who buy specific pre-owned electric vehicles this year can receive a $4,000 credit. Those who buy these vehicles can apply the tax credit to their 2023 tax return. To be eligible for the tax credits, the vehicles must be produced in North America and have a maximum MSRP of $80,000 for SUVs or $55,000 for sedans, wagons, or hatchbacks.
