Navigating the Green: EVs That Qualify for Tax Credits in 2024
The electric vehicle revolution is in full swing, and with it comes a wave of questions, especially concerning affordability. Here at Hoffman Ford, we understand the importance of financial planning when considering a new car. The good news is, the 2024 Ford lineup boasts a diverse selection of electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles that not only offer environmental benefits but can also be surprisingly budget-friendly thanks to generous tax credits. But with various models and evolving regulations, it can be tricky to navigate which EVs qualify. Fear not, eco-conscious drivers! This blog will be your roadmap to understanding electric vehicles that qualify for tax credits in 2024, focusing specifically on the exciting options available at Hoffman Ford.
Changes and Considerations: EV Tax Credit in 2024
The landscape of electric vehicles that qualify for a tax credit is constantly evolving. Here are some key changes for 2024 to keep in mind.
- Battery Capacity Matters: Previously, the federal EV tax credit amount depended solely on the manufacturer. For 2024, the credit amount is partially determined by the battery capacity of the vehicle. Battery packs must have at least seven kilowatt hours of capacity.Â
- Income & MSRP Limits: For the first time, there are income limitations for eligibility. However, these limitations are quite generous, and most EV shoppers are unlikely to be impacted. Our knowledgeable team at Hoffman Ford can help you determine your eligibility. Eligible EVs must have a maximum MSRP of $55,000 for sedans and hatchbacks, or $80,000 for SUVs.Â
- Processing Location Is Key: In order to qualify for the first $3,750, a portion of the EV's battery components must be assembled or produced in the U.S. To get the full $7,500, a portion of the vehicle's critical mineral components must have been mined or processed in the U.S. or come from a U.S. free-trade agreement partner. The EV must also be manufactured in North America.
Electrifying Choices: Qualifying Ford EVs in 2024
The federal EV tax credit offers a significant financial incentive for purchasing a new electric vehicle. This tax deduction can be applied directly to your purchase of a qualifying EV, effectively reducing the upfront cost of your new EV. But not all EVs are created equal - to qualify for the credit, the vehicle must meet specific criteria set by the Internal Revenue Service. Here's a closer look at the 2024 Ford lineup and which EVs qualify for a tax credit.
- The Flexible Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid: For those seeking a balance between electric efficiency and gasoline practicality, the Ford Escape PHEV is a perfect choice. This versatile PHEV allows you to conquer your daily commute on electric power and seamlessly switch to the gasoline engine for longer trips. The Ford Escape PHEV qualifies for the partial federal tax credit of $3,750. This financial incentive sweetens the deal on an already practical and fuel-efficient vehicle.
- The Powerhouse Ford F-150 Lightning: The legendary Ford F-150 gets a revolutionary makeover with the Ford F-150 Lightning. This electric truck offers impressive towing and hauling capabilities while maintaining the legendary Ford F-150 toughness. The good news? The F-150 Lightning qualifies for the full $7,500 federal tax credit. The Ford F-150 Lightning proves that going electric doesn't mean sacrificing utility, and the tax credit further enhances the value proposition of this groundbreaking truck.
