How to qualify for the proposed $12,500 tax credit that discounts union-made electric vehicles priced up to $74,000 and gives financial aid to drivers earning as much as $400,000

Ford Mach-E Launch Event at the LA Auto Show – November 2019

Today congress is expected to review a controversial new tax credit plan designed to convert 50% of drivers from internal combustion to electric propulsion by 2030.

Massive discounts could be on the way for electric vehicles purchased in the United States. Car buyers planning to buy an electric vehicle who earn less than $400,000 should not complete a transaction until the proposed electric vehicle tax credit is finalized. The savings could be substantial and will make it even more complicated to decide which electric vehicle to buy. The bill is expected to be reviewed today and would provide up to $12,500 off a new electric vehicle. Below is a breakdown of what the current proposal includes and which car buyers would qualify for the incentive:

Nikola Badger

Nikola Badger electric trucks for sale

The Nikola Badger is a popular electric pickup design with up to 600 miles per charge made possible by Nikola’s battery & fuel-cell approach to propulsion. The truck almost achieved production phase but due to a modified agreement between Nikola and General Motors there is no longer a plan for GM to manufacture the Badger. In the scaled down deal GM will only be supplying Nikola with fuel cells. The Badger is still listed on Nikola’s website but you cannot place an order at this time. This situation is a good reminder of the added risks involved with purchasing electric vehicles produced by startups who rely on external manufacturers who are also competitors and do not have a dealership network to support the product post purchase.
