What Should Volkswagen Drivers in Orlando Know About Federal EV Credits?
The federal Clean Vehicle Credit offers up to $7,500 in tax savings on qualifying electric vehicles. If you’re thinking about a new Volkswagen EV, act soon—the credit ends on September 30, 2025, unless renewed. There’s also a separate incentive for installing a home EV charger, but that program expires on June 30, 2026.
How Does the $7,500 Tax Credit Actually Work?
The full credit breaks into two parts:
- $3,750 if the battery’s components are sourced from eligible regions
- $3,750 if the minerals used in the battery meet sourcing standards
Depending on the model and its components, your new Volkswagen may qualify for part or all of the incentive.
What Are the Requirements for a Volkswagen EV to Qualify?
To be eligible for the federal credit, your vehicle must:
- Be brand new at purchase
- Have a battery capacity of 7 kWh or more
- Be assembled in North America
- Be made by a qualified manufacturer
- Fall within the MSRP limits:
There are also MSRP limits:
- $80,000 for trucks, vans, and SUVs
- $55,000 for all other vehicles
The dealership is also responsible for submitting buyer and vehicle information to the IRS to confirm eligibility.
Why Is It Important to Act Before These Credits End?
These programs are temporary and currently set to expire in 2025 and 2026. Delaying your EV purchase could mean missing out on these financial benefits. With no guarantee of extension, the time to take advantage is now.
