Here are the Vehicles that are Eligible for US Clean Vehicle Tax Credits in 2023

• The US changed the guidelines for its federal tax credits last year.

• EVs and PHEVs need to have been assembled in North America and have an MSRP under $55,000 or $80,000, depending on the type, to be eligible.

• This leaves 22 vehicles to choose from to benefit from the $7,500 tax credit.

The revisions made to the United States federal clean vehicle tax credits last year have created a fair amount of confusion as to which vehicles are eligible or not.

The main thing that changed with the government’s Inflation Reduction Act is that electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids need to have been manufactured in North America, meaning that many European and Asian vehicles that would have been eligible in 2021 or 2022 are no longer on the list.

Vehicles also need to have an MSRP that doesn’t exceed $55,000 or $80,000 in the case of SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans. This means that some vehicles’ entry-level versions qualify while more expensive trim levels are left out of the incentive program.

In addition, the vehicle category that determines the price limit for the tax credit is sometimes up to interpretation, which means some SUVs are considered hatchbacks by the government and are therefore subjected to a lower price limit.

With this in mind, here is the latest list of eligible 2021 through 2023 vehicles that was published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS):
