BMW Electric & Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle Tax Credit Update for 2024

BMW EV Tax Incentives & Savings - Sewickley BMW

If you’ve begun to consider switching to a plug-in hybrid or an all-electric vehicle, you’re probably familiar with their compelling list of benefits including outstanding savings on fuel, exhilarating power delivery, and serene driving characteristics. There’s also another tremendous advantage that comes from owning an electrified vehicle that you may have not previously considered, and that is the potential tax savings that can come from plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and full electric (BEV) vehicles.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-169) amended the Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit (IRC 30D), and is now known as the Clean Vehicle Credit. This new legislation adds a new requirement for final assembly in North America that took effect on August 16, 2022. Additional provisions went into effect on January 1, 2023. Certain BMW models used to qualify for these EV incentives but the new North American final assembly requirement changed their status. Sewickley BMW is standing by to help you choose the right BMW Plug In Hybrid Vehicle or Fully Electric Vehicles for your lifestyle.

Federal EV Tax Credits Explained*

Although often experienced as a discount on the vehicle’s selling price, the EV Tax Credit is just that — a tax credit. This government policy allows certain buyers to claim an eligible tax credit against the federal income taxes they owe in the year in which they buy the car. Put simply, it reduces your tax liability. Should you qualify for a tax refund, you’ll receive whatever the amount of your credit on top of your refund*.

Which BMW Models Qualify for the EV Federal Tax Credit*?

The build location of a particular vehicle can be confirmed by referring to its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) using a VIN decoder or an information label affixed to the vehicle. Remember, only vehicles assembled in North America qualify for EV Tax Incentives. Previously, final assembly location was not a factor in qualification. Currently, that means only the following vehicles qualify for an EV Tax Credit:
