The Tax Credit Loophole You Can Drive an EV Through

BobKamman
Level 15

Lease, don't buy.  This is from a Bloomberg article:

Fewer than a dozen EVs qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit if purchased by a consumer. But all battery-powered models benefit from it if they’re leased, because in that case the IRA [Inflation Reduction Act] categorizes them as commercial vehicles. The lease option is an IRA loophole you could drive millions of electric vehicles through. International automakers lobbied for and secured it after fearing they’d be shut out of the IRA tax credits aimed at stimulating the nascent EV market in the US.
