How Are Federal Electric Vehicle Incentives Changing, and Why Should Toyota Shoppers in Omaha Pay Attention?
Federal incentives for electric vehicles are set to change soon. The Clean Vehicle Credit, which currently provides up to $7,500 in tax savings, is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2025, unless Congress votes to extend it. Additionally, the credit for home EV charger installation will end on June 30, 2026.
These changes could significantly impact what you pay for a new Toyota electric vehicle. Acting early ensures you’re positioned to maximize these benefits.
What Makes Up the $7,500 Federal EV Tax Credit and How Is It Earned?
This credit is split into two equal parts:
- $3,750 is awarded if your Toyota EV meets critical mineral sourcing requirements
- $3,750 is available if the vehicle complies with U.S. battery component sourcing standards
To receive the full amount, the vehicle must meet both requirements. Partial credit may be available if only one condition is met. Some vehicles may not qualify at all based on manufacturing origin and supply chain compliance.
What Does a Toyota EV Need to Qualify—and What Should Buyers in Omaha Keep in Mind?
Qualifying Toyota EVs must:
- Be new and assembled in North America
- Include a battery with a minimum of 7 kilowatt-hours
- Have an MSRP below $80,000 for SUVs and trucks, or $55,000 for other vehicles
Buyers also need to meet IRS income thresholds, and the dealership must report the sale directly to the IRS to activate the credit at the time of purchase.
