To verify if your specific electric vehicle (EV) model was assembled in North America, you can follow these steps:
Steps to Verify Assembly Location
-
Use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):
- Find your vehicle’s VIN on the driver’s side dashboard or doorjamb.
- Use the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) VIN decoder tool to determine the country and plant where the vehicle was assembled.
-
Check the Vehicle Label:
- Look for an information label on your vehicle, typically found on the driver’s side doorjamb or glove compartment. It will indicate the assembly location.
-
Consult Manufacturer Resources:
- Contact the vehicle manufacturer or visit their official website to confirm assembly locations for your specific model.
-
Department of Energy Resources:
- Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s webpage on Electric Vehicles with Final Assembly in North America for additional information on qualifying models and how to check assembly locations using VIN.
By following these steps, you can ensure your EV was assembled in North America, which is crucial for tax credits eligibility.
