EV Tax Credit Eligibility in Maryland
Check your eligibility for federal and Maryland EV tax credits. Up to $7,500 for new EVs and $4,000 for used EVs, plus available state incentives.
What Maryland Residents Should Know
Federal EV tax credits remain one of the biggest financial incentives for Maryland residents considering an electric vehicle. The Clean Vehicle Credit (Section 30D) offers up to $7,500 for new qualifying EVs, while the Used Clean Vehicle Credit (Section 25E) provides up to $4,000 for qualifying pre-owned EVs purchased from a licensed dealer. Both credits have income limits and vehicle price caps that vary by filing status.
Beyond federal incentives, Maryland offers additional EV benefits including the Maryland EV Excise Tax Credit (up to $3000). When stacked with the federal credit, Maryland buyers could receive up to $10500 in total savings on a new EV. These state incentives may have their own eligibility requirements, so use the calculator above to check whether you qualify for each program.
Keep in mind that the federal EV tax credit has income thresholds: $150,000 AGI for single filers and $300,000 for joint filers on new vehicles, with lower limits for used EVs. The vehicle MSRP cap is $55,000 for sedans and $80,000 for SUVs, vans, and trucks. Starting in 2024, buyers can also transfer the credit to the dealer at the point of sale for an instant price reduction.
