New Law Creates Confusion Over EV Credits

Learn about the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 on purchasing new and used EVs.

August 22, 2022

The 109th State of the Fleet Industry video produced by Automotive Fleet offers insights into the state of the fleet market.


🎙Today's topics include:

  • The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, signed into law by President Biden on Aug. 16, 2022, creates a new set of rules on the issuance of tax credits to purchase new and used EVs.

  • People familiar with the new EV credit eligibility requirements describe them as confusing with harder-to-meet criteria.

  • To be eligible, an EV must be built in North America, most battery components must be assembled in North America, and battery materials can only be sourced from countries that have a free trade agreement with the U.S.

  • The Inflation Reduction Act will actually reduce the number of EVs eligible for the tax credits from 72 models down to only 22 models. The number will further increase when the battery sourcing requirements become effective on Jan. 1, 2023.
