Do I get the federal EV tax credit if I lease?

No. When you lease an electric vehicle, the leasing company claims the federal tax credit. Many dealers and leasing companies pass some or all of the savings on to you as a lower lease payment or upfront discount, but this is not guaranteed. Always ask how the credit is being applied to your lease.

Do I get the credit if I buy?

If you buy a qualifying new EV and meet the eligibility requirements, you can claim the credit yourself (typically as a point-of-sale discount or on your tax return). Income, vehicle price, and other restrictions may apply.

When does the current lease-based EV credit end?

The federal tax credit for leases is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2025, unless Congress extends it.

Leasing vs Buying: Who Gets the Credit?

	Buy	Lease
Who claims the credit?	You (if eligible)	Lessor (leasing company)
How do you get the savings?	Point-of-sale discount or claim on your taxes	Leasing company keeps the credit. Savings may be passed on, but it’s not guaranteed. Ask your dealer how the credit is being used.
Do you personally file for the credit?	Yes, if you buy and qualify	No — you do not file for the credit on your taxes
Is it automatic?	If you qualify	No — always confirm with the dealer!
Income/price limits?	Yes (see eligibility)	No
Who gets the credit after September 30, 2025?	Depends on new laws	N/A (credit scheduled to end)

If you lease: The leasing company claims the credit, not you. Some or all of the savings may be included in your lease offer, but this is not required — always ask the dealer how the credit is being used.
If you buy: You may be eligible to claim the credit directly, if you meet all requirements.
