Navigating EV Tax Credits in 2023

This episode of Middle Tennessee Electric's Plugged In Podcast features a detailed discussion about electric vehicle (EV) tax credits with lead economist Teri Viswanath from Cobank. The conversation covers the qualifications and restrictions for claiming tax credits on new and used EVs, including maximum claim amounts, income restrictions, and the requirement for vehicles to be manufactured in North America. The hosts, Brandon Wagner and Amy Byers, explore changes to tax credits, such as the introduction of a point-of-sale rebate in 2024 and the distinction between two separate credits for raw materials and battery components. Additionally, they discuss tax credits for EV chargers and energy-efficient installations at home, and the impact of the leasing option for EVs. The episode also touches upon the current state of the EV market, inventory levels at dealerships, and the importance of reliable public charging infrastructure.
