Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Bigger charger tax credit

If enacted, the bill would raise the tax credit for qualified vehicle refueling property from 30% to 50%. It would remove the credit's sunset. The change would apply to qualifying equipment placed in service after enactment and would increase the federal tax saving for people or businesses that install eligible vehicle chargers.

Bigger credit for used clean cars

If enacted, the bill would raise the used clean vehicle tax credit cap from $4,000 to $8,000 and increase the percentage limit from 30% to 60%. It would remove the credit's sunset. The changes would apply to previously owned vehicles acquired after enactment and could increase the tax benefit for eligible used-vehicle buyers.

Changes to new clean vehicle credit

If enacted, the bill would change the new clean vehicle tax credit for vehicles placed in service after enactment. It would raise certain dollar amounts from $3,750 to $7,500. But those amounts would be set to $0 for a taxpayer who received any section 30D credit in a prior year or for an earlier new clean vehicle placed in service in the same taxable year. The bill would also lower the income thresholds (for example, $300,000 → $225,000 and $150,000 → $112,500) and would remove the credit's sunset.
