The Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law on August 16th and there is plenty of controversy surrounding the changes to the tax rebate eligibility requirements at both the vehicle and consumer level.
To get our heads around these changes, we spent hours sifting through the tax credit requirements and put together a timeline of events of the new law as it will have a pretty big effect on electric vehicle new car sales.
We also put together a list of 2022 and 2023 models still eligible for the tax credit this year.
