Are you considering purchasing an electric vehicle (EV)? If so, now is a great time to explore the exciting options at Willowbrook Kia. Our dealership offers a range of cutting-edge electric vehicles that provide an eco-friendly and efficient driving experience, and each qualify for the federal EV tax credit. We're here at Willowbrook Kia to help you understand how the tax credit works and which Kia EVs are eligible. How the Federal EV Tax Credit Works The federal government offers a tax credit of up to $7,500 for qualifying electric vehicles. This credit is designed to encourage the adoption of EVs and reduce carbon emissions. To be eligible, the EV must have a battery capacity of at least four kilowatt-hours (kWh) and be purchased new from a licensed dealer. The amount of the credit depends on the vehicle's battery capacity and gradually phases out once a manufacturer has sold 200,000 qualifying vehicles. Kia Electric Vehicles Eligible for the Federal Tax Credit Kia currently offers two electric vehicle models that qualify for the federal tax credit: the Kia EV6 and the Kia Niro EV. The Kia EV6 is a sleek and stylish crossover with a driving range of up to 310 miles on a single charge. Drivers in Bolingbrook appreciate the EV6's fast charging capabilities, which allow it to charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes using a 350-kW charger. The Kia Niro EV is another excellent choice, offering a spacious interior and an impressive range of up to 239 miles. Car buyers in Downers Grove love the Niro EV's smooth and quiet ride, as well as its advanced safety features like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. When you purchase a qualifying Kia EV, you can claim the federal tax credit when you file your income taxes for the year in which you bought the vehicle.
