Description

September 30, 2025 is the end of the federal EV tax credit. We gathered around the the table to talk what it means for consumers, the EV industry, and our favorite EVs.


Since we filmed this episode, the IRS has clarified that EV buyers don't have to have taken delivery of the vehicle by the Sept 30 deadline, but they do need to have signed a contract to buy it and made some sort of payment towards it, whether that's a down payment, or a trade-in of a vehicle


*This is a fluid topic and this episode was recorded on August 4, 2025, so forgive us if anything has changed since then!*
