To qualify for the battery portion of the full electric vehicle (EV) tax credit, which is up to $3,750 of the total $7,500 credit, a certain percentage of the vehicle’s battery must be assembled or manufactured in North America. The required percentage varies by year as follows:
- 2023: 50%
- 2024: 60%
- 2025: 60%
- 2026: 70%
- 2027: 80%
- 2028: 90%
- 2029 through 2032: 100%
So, for the full EV tax credit in 2024 and 2025, at least 60% of the vehicle’s battery must be assembled or manufactured in North America to qualify for the battery portion of the credit.
This battery assembly/manufacturing requirement is one half of the full $7,500 tax credit, with the other half depending on critical minerals sourcing and other criteria. Meeting both requirements results in eligibility for the full credit.
