What Should Scottsdale Drivers Know About the Federal EV Tax Credit at Van Buick GMC?
If you’re considering a GMC EV, the federal Clean Vehicle Credit could save you up to $7,500 on your purchase. This incentive is designed to make electric vehicles more accessible by reducing upfront costs. Van Buick GMC is here to help you understand how the credit works, which models qualify, and whether you meet the criteria.
How Does the $7,500 EV Credit Work at the Time of Purchase?
The Clean Vehicle Credit can now be applied directly at the dealership—no waiting for tax season. When you buy a qualifying EV at Van Buick GMC, the credit reduces your purchase price immediately. We handle the IRS reporting on your behalf to make the process seamless.
The credit is split into two parts:
- $3,750 for meeting battery mineral sourcing rules
- $3,750 for meeting battery component sourcing rules
Some models may qualify for only half, depending on how they’re built.
Which GMC EV Models Can Qualify for the Clean Vehicle Credit?
To qualify, a vehicle must be new, have a battery capacity of at least 7 kilowatt-hours, weigh less than 14,000 pounds, be manufactured by a qualified company, and have its final assembly in North America. There are also price limits: $80,000 MSRP for vans, SUVs, and pickup trucks, and $55,000 for other vehicle types. Sellers must report buyer information to the IRS to confirm eligibility.
When Will the EV Tax Credit and Charger Incentives Expire?
These federal incentives are only available for a limited time:
- Clean Vehicle Credit: Ends September 30, 2025
- Home Charger Installation Credit: Ends June 30, 2026
There’s no guarantee either program will be renewed, so timing matters.
