My understanding is that when it comes to the EV credit changes if some form of the bill passes, they will be retroactive to 1 January (for the 2022 tax year). So about the only way any of us will see the $7500 tax credit is if the bill doesn't pass at all or they modify/strip the EV changes. I'd love the tax credit, but won't be counting on it.
What is the basis of your understanding? It doesn't seem right (or would withstand legal challenge) that someone could make a purchase based on the laws on the books at the time and later have that pulled out from under them.

The wording of the bill is difficult to follow, and it takes a lot of effort to try to understand it.
I see this part: "... each vehicle manufactured by such manufacturer after the later of the date on which such agreement takes effect
or December 31, 2021, ...", which is the basis for my comments above. You can see the entire section on pages 1480ff at website URL
https://rules.house.gov/sites/democr...-RCP117-18.pdf ...
So I assume that it would take effect when signed into law, and not be retroactive, but it really only makes sense to push it forward to the following calendar year (which would mean taking effect on 2023 Jan. 1 if passed during calendar year 2022). I really don't understand how the writing of these bills work, and whether the IRS is even consulted for such wording...

It completely depends on the final wording of the bill, if and when, it is passed. I'm not sure there is any prohibition against deleting a deduction/tax credit during the current year prior to taxes being due since it doesn't have any effect on the tax brackets. Perhaps there is a tax lawyer that could comment. It makes sense that if passed they'd push it to the following year but I don't think there is any guarantee. I wouldn't personally count on the $7500 tax credit until I file my taxes for 2022 and it is still in effect ;-)

P.S. Here is a pretty good summary of the changes proposed in November and sent to the Senate. The effective date, which could be changed, is 1 January 2022 for most of the changes: https://evadoption.com/proposed-chan...presentatives/

I thought the $7,500 was used right away by dealers as a down payment…

that’s what I was told, it’s a cap cost reduction right away.

The current $7500 (max) is a tax credit. You file a Form 8936, along with your other income tax forms, and can claim up to $7500 that will be deducted from your taxes, if you've paid over $7500 in taxes. It is not an up-front deduction. I believe it works a bit differently on leases, since the lessor is buying the vehicle, and maybe that is where the confusion lies.

Here is a link to the tax form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8936.pdf

That is only true on leases.

To add on to what@gnop1950 & @flygdchman wrote, it goes to the first registered owner. If you have a dealer that is willing to negotiate $7,500 off the PP and you are the first buyer, take the deal. You will (assuming you have the tax liability) get another $7,500 deducted from your tax liability when you file your taxes.

Biden, Schumer and Pelosi did not consult 1 Republican for this monstrosity, which also reduces taxes for the wealthy in the Blue states. If the Dems really wanted the electric infrastructure so bad it would have part of the “infrastructure bill”, now law, which did pass with bipartisan support.
These are the same folks who are considering packing the courts and abolishing the filibuster, when it suits them.

Looks like Toyota will be the next to hit 200k U.S. plugin sales. Almost certainly this month or in Feb. This article has a nice chart showing how the phase out worked for Tesla and GM: https://insideevs.com/news/558975/to...redits-190000/

They think Ford will hit 200k later this year.

Thanks a lot for this. It saved me from a screw-up of buying a leftover EV.
