Talking Cars Bonus: EV Tax Credits Explained
CR’s experts walk through the complexities of the new federal tax credit for electric cars to help you maximize your savings
Main theme: In this bonus episode, we delve into recent changes in the electric vehicle tax credit in an effort to demystify what’s become a complex situation for consumers. Special guest Chris Harto, Consumer Reports’ senior policy analyst for transportation and energy, is an expert based in Washington, D.C., who has extensively studied these changes. We decode the tax code to help you figure out whether that new electric car you’re considering is eligible for a $7,500 tax credit, and why leasing might be a smarter bet for some folks.
