Consumers can save up to $7,500 instantly when they buy or lease a new EV and up to $4,000 on eligible used EVs by Sept. 30. To educate consumers and EV advocates, Plug In America is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, July 16, that will review the credits, eligibility requirements, helpful resources, and the variety of consumer models available in today's EV marketplace.
LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Plug In America, a national nonprofit accelerating the shift to electric vehicles (EVs), recommends consumers interested in EVs take advantage of the federal new and used EV tax credits by Sept. 30, 2025, before they sunset. Consumers can save up to $7,500 instantly when they buy or lease a new EV and up to $4,000 on eligible used EVs.
"It is the summer of EVs," Joel Levin, Plug In America executive director, said. "Don't wait until the last day to get your vehicle. Right now, there's a good selection of EVs on dealer lots, and that could change due to higher demand or changes in tariffs. We expect EV sales to pick up while the tax credits are still on the table. Start your research and shopping now."
On July 4, the president signed into law legislation that sunset the suite of EV tax credits on September 30.
The federal EV tax credits are still available at the point of sale with IRS-registered dealers. Getting the federal incentive up front means that drivers don't need to have tax liability to access the savings, and consumers save money on finance charges since the incentive comes off the price of the vehicle at the time of sale.
To educate consumers and EV advocates, Plug In America is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, July 16, that will review the credits, eligibility requirements, helpful resources, and the variety of consumer models available in today's EV marketplace. Register for it today.
