Government Schemes for Electric Vehicles
There are various government schemes for electric vehicles (EVs) around the world. Here are a few examples:
- The United States has a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for electric vehicles, which is applied to the buyer's tax liability.
- The United Kingdom has a plug-in grant scheme that provides a subsidy of up to £2,500 for eligible electric cars and up to £500 for electric motorbikes, mopeds, and vans.
- In Canada, there are provincial incentives for electric vehicles, such as the Quebec government's rebate of up to $8,000 for electric or hybrid vehicles and Ontario's rebate of up to $5,000 for electric vehicles.
- China has a range of subsidies and incentives for electric vehicles, such as the exemption from purchase taxes and the allocation of license plates in major cities.
- Norway offers various incentives for electric vehicles, including exemption from VAT and road tolls, free public parking, and reduced or no fees for ferries and tunnels.
The U.S. government offers a variety of incentives and tax credits for electric vehicles (EVs). The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides a tax credit of up to $7,500 for new EVs purchased in 2023 or after under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D. This credit is available to individuals and their businesses [1].
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed the rules for this credit for vehicles purchased from 2023 to 2032. The credit is equal to $2,917 for a vehicle with a battery capacity of at least 5 kilowatt hours (kWh) plus $417 for each kWh of capacity over 5 kWh [2].
In addition, the government has delayed some rules for EV tax credits until March 2023. Select General Motors (GM) and Tesla electric vehicles became eligible (again) for federal tax incentives in January 2023 [3].
Furthermore, some states offer additional incentives for electric vehicles. For example, California offers a Clean Vehicle Rebate Program (CVRP) which provides rebates of up to $7,000 for the purchase or lease of a new, eligible zero-emission or plug-in hybrid light-duty vehicle [4].
