A $7,500 EV Tax Credit Expires Soon: What that Means for EV Prices
Dealership delays in filing IRS paperwork risk buyers losing the $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit before its Sept. 30 expiration, despite 65% of buyers planning EV purchases.
- On September 23, 2025, the Internal Revenue Service instructed dealerships to file paperwork so buyers can claim the Clean Vehicle Credit before it ends on Sept. 30, 2025.
- Policy revisions in a recent spending-and-tax package accelerated the phase-out, shortening the Inflation Reduction Act EV tax credit timeline via the `one big, beautiful bill` under President Joe Biden.
- U.S. EV sales rose 7% in 2024 to 1.6 million, but Cox Automotive found 65% of buyers will still purchase without the credit, and Green warned `I think there's going to be a little bit of turmoil in the market for quite some time`.
- In late August, buyers Katie Larsell and Michael Schilmoeller said dealer filings threatened their $7,500 credit as IRS rules require a `time-of-sale report` filed within a three-day window, though exceptions apply.
- Starting Jan. 1, 2026, Colorado's EV tax credit will fall from $3,500 to $750, while Cox Automotive warns limited dealer inventories may blunt price cuts, Stephanie Valdez Streaty said.
