Federal EV Tax Credit

What Should Mazda Buyers in Houston Know About EV Tax Credits?

Federal tax credits for electric vehicles are set to expire. The Clean Vehicle Credit, which provides up to $7,500, ends on September 30, 2025, unless extended by Congress. A separate tax credit for installing a home EV charger will also expire on June 30, 2026. If you're considering a Mazda EV, now is the time to learn how these incentives can help reduce your overall cost.

 

How Much Could You Save with the Clean Vehicle Credit?

The total credit is $7,500, split into two parts:

  • $3,750 for vehicles meeting battery sourcing requirements
  • $3,750 for vehicles that meet critical mineral standards

However, not every EV qualifies for the full amount. Eligibility varies by model, manufacturing location, and parts sourcing.

 

What Does a Mazda EV Need to Qualify?

To be eligible for the Clean Vehicle Credit, a Mazda EV must:

  • Be new when purchased
  • Have a battery capacity of at least 7 kWh
  • Be assembled in North America
  • Be manufactured by a qualified automaker
  • Fall under the $80,000 MSRP cap for SUVs or $55,000 for other vehicles
  • Be reported to the IRS by the dealer
  • Be purchased by a buyer within federal income limits

When Do These EV Incentives End?

The EV tax credit ends on September 30, 2025, and the home charger credit concludes on June 30, 2026. There's no guarantee they’ll be renewed, so waiting could mean missing out.
