Which EVs qualify for a $7,500 tax credit in 2024? See the updated list.
Looking to buy an electric car this year? You may be eligible for up to $7,500 in tax credits.

Just 19 different electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid variations qualify for tax credits in 2024, down from 43 last year. See below for the full list, including all the model variations and their MSRP limits to qualify.

How do electric cars qualify for tax credits?
Eligible cars must be assembled in North America and cannot contain battery components manufactured or assembled by "foreign entities of concern,” including China.
Then, there are two sourcing qualifications that must be met, each of which are worth $3,750 in tax credits:
- At least 60% of the car’s battery components must be manufactured or assembled in North America.
- At least 50% of the critical minerals in the battery must be extracted or processed in the U.S. or a country that has a free trade agreement with the U.S., or be recycled in North America.
