Hybrid Car Tax Credits: Incentives Fade into Memory

Published February 7, 2011

They were nice while they lasted, but the tax credits available to hybrid gas-electric cars bit the dust on Dec. 31, 2010. The incentives that President George Bush signed into law, as part of The Energy Policy Act of 2005, had granted up to $3,400 as a tax credit for the most efficient hybrid cars—and $4,000 for a compressed natural gas vehicle. They are gone, with little prospects for returning.

Instead, legislators have jumped to the next technology breakthrough: tax credits for plug-in hybrids and electric cars. A combination of local and national credits—up to $7,500 at the federal level, plus a $2,000 credit for charging equipment installation, plus state-based incentives (of $5,000 in California)— represent so far the largest bundle of incentives ever for private purchasers of green electric-drive vehicles.

With hybrids remaining below 3 percent of the new car market, some green car advocates wonder if the hybrid tax credits have vanished too soon. But Mike Stanton, president and CEO of the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers, summed up the situation, in an interview with Detroit News. "The intent was to provide an incentive for new technology,” Stanton said. “Hybrid technology is now pretty well-known."

Training Wheels Come Off

At this stage, the viability of steady growth of the hybrid car market—as well as so-called “clean diesel” vehicles and cars that run on compressed natural gas—will have to stand on its merits, with no assistance from federal tax credits. In fact, for the most popular hybrids, the tax incentives have been long gone—because The Energy Policy Act of 2005 called for a phase-out of tax credits when any specific automaker sold more than 60,000 hybrid or clean-tech vehicles. Toyota and Lexus hybrids became ineligible in September 2007. Honda lost its eligibility on Jan. 1, 2009, and Ford's expired March 31, 2010.

Many observers believed the 60,000-vehicle threshold was designed to limit the advantage for Japanese automaker, such as Toyota (and some degree Honda), which dominated the hybrid market since its introduction more than 10 years ago. With American companies very much in the plug-in game, the new incentives for plug-in cars have a bigger limit of 200,000 cars.

Other perks, such as the ability for solo drivers to use carpool lanes, have also shifted from conventional hybrids to plug-in cars—although California hybrid drivers with yellow stickers had their HOV privileges extended until June 30, 2011. Then, cars with yellow stickers are out, and those with white ones—for zero emission vehicles—take their place in the carpool lanes.

California issued yellow carpool lane access stickers to 85,000 hybrids between 2004 and 2007. To alleviate concerns about highway congestion from solo green car drivers, there will be a cap of 40,000 for Enhanced AT-PZEV plug-in hybrids allowed in the HOV lanes. There is currently no limit set for the number of all-electric, or zero emission vehicles, that can receive white HOV access stickers.

Speeding Up Adoption of Electric Cars

Support for electric car incentives is apparently accelerating. There are multiple proposals to enhance the $7,500 tax credit for electric cars to an instant rebate available at the time of purchase. This would help avoid EV shoppers not being able to claim the full credit when it comes to tax time—a common problem when hybrid shoppers lost some of the value of their credits due to the Alternative Minimum Tax.

As it stands now, buyers of plug-in hybrids and electric cars benefit from a tax credit of $2,500 to $7,500, depending on the size of the battery in the car. On the low end of the spectrum, cars with 4 kWh battery packs will qualify for a $2,500 tax credit. The credit maxes out at $7,500 for cars with a 16 kWh battery pack, like the Chevy Volt. Drivers converting a car into a plug-in hybrid, or a gas-powered car into an electric vehicle, will receive a tax credit equal to 10 percent of the conversion cost. The maximum credit is $4,000 for a $40,000 conversion. The credits were provided as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as the “stimulus bill.”

In late Dec. 2010, the federal government saved the tax credit for installation of home-based charging equipment that was set to expire at the end of 2010. It was a bittersweet victory, because the amount of the credit dropped from 50 percent to 30 percent. EV buyers can now claim a credit of 30 percent of the purchase and costs of the charging equipment, up to $1,000 for individuals and $30,000 for businesses. The new rules are in effect until December 31, 2011.

There is a long list of incentives for electric cars and plug-in hybrids at the state level. We will track those incentives—to the best of our available, things are changing fast—on our sister site, PluginCars.com.

* Credits for Toyota and Honda hybrids no longer qualify at all for tax credits. Ford hybrids were cut in half from amounts listed above starting April 1, 2009. In October 2009, the credits were cut in half again, and completely ended on April 1, 2010.

The basic rules:

  • The vehicle must be placed in service after 12/31/05 and purchased on or before 12/31/10.
  • The original use of the vehicle must begin with the taxpayer claiming the credit. The credit may only be claimed by the original owner of a new, qualifying, hybrid vehicle and does not apply to a used hybrid vehicle.
  • The vehicle must be acquired for use or lease by the taxpayer claiming the credit. The credit is only available to the original purchaser of a qualifying hybrid vehicle. If a qualifying vehicle is leased to a consumer, the leasing company may claim the credit. For qualifying vehicles used by a tax-exempt entity, the person who sold the qualifying vehicle to the person or entity using the vehicle is eligible to claim the credit, but only if the seller clearly discloses in a document to the tax-exempt entity the amount of credit.
  • The vehicle must be used predominantly within the United States.

These rules are relatively straight-forward. But there's more and these are more foggy:

  • The credit amount is based on the purchase date of the vehicle.
  • The new law for the hybrid tax credit might require taxpayers to recapture their hybrid tax credit if they re-sell their hybrid car or truck.

Surprisingly, for taxpayers who take a lot of deductions or use the Alternative Minimum Tax, the previous tax deduction (which bit the dust in 2005) was more valuable. Details:

  • The credit will not reduce your alternative minimum tax, if that applies to you. As stated in Toyota's statement about the new tax credits: "The benefit of the hybrid vehicle tax credit will also be substantially reduced or eliminated if the individual purchaser is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax."
  • The credit will reduce your regular income tax liability, but not below zero.
  • If you are eligible for multiple tax credits, the hybrid tax credit is taken last after all the other credits (e.g., child care tax credit, mortgage credit, retirement savings credit) have been taken. Any tax liability left over by these reductions will be the maximum dollar limit of your hybrid tax credit. If your hybrid tax credit exceeds your maximum dollar limit, the excess is not refundable, and is lost forever.
  • The excess cannot be carried over to another year, or given away to another person.

As you might guess, it's a good idea to get advice from a tax professional before filing.

News flash Priusmaniac , your precious Prius emits particles. In fact, I've heard there is some speculation that gasoline particles may in fact be worse than diesel's because they're smaller and easier to inhale. Even if they're not you are totally uninformed on the current state of diesel emissions... very clean now.

On topic, I've never much liked these Incentives. I see no reason why I as a taxpayer should foot the bill for somebody else's luxury item.

I guess that depends what angle you're approaching this from, Dom. When it comes to speeding the adoption of technologies that boost long-term efficiency, and helping them achieve economies of scale, such credits could be seen as a good investment. And not in "luxury", but in helping to improve America's 18+ million barrel daily oil consumption, and countering the trend toward unconventional, more carbon-intensive fuels. If we're not going to recognize the externalized costs of fossil hydrocarbons via a carbon pricing and incentive system system, or at least drop Big Oil subsidies, we can at least make the higher up-front cost of alternative technologies more manageable.

The Government is broke, but they continue to provide incentives for these vehicles. I agree with Dom, why should taxpayers foot the bill so some guy in California can plug his car in? The government has spent billions subsidizing ethanol and look where that has gotten us...higher food prices. If a product can't stand on it's own, it's not our responsibility to make it work. Besides, what is so great about electric vehicles given the fact that much of the electricity is generated by burning coal...the dirtiest of all fossil fuels.

Alex J

1 year ago

What's so great is that electric propulsion with regenerative braking is much more efficient than your typical internal combustion setup. Even with half the electric supply being coal (assuming a full electric or plug-in), it's an improvement over burning oil, especially from tar sands, at low efficiency. And to me it's a much better investment than corn-based ethanol, since it means a faster transition from reliance on oil, and reduction of the national and global risks therein. Not to mention that anything that helps reduce demand benefits the pocketbook as prices rise along with the competition for resources. Otherwise, I'm sure we'll hear lots of Americans complaining when more Chinese and Indians seek to emulate the high-consumption, high-waste Western lifestyle, and drive oil prices through the roof.

The purpose or one of the purpose of the government is to move the country in a direction that is suppose to be better for the people, granted based on one perspective. With that being said, The reason we as taxpayer's pay into the government is to fund these goals, because These incentives help bring the cost of a new technology that most people would not see a cost benefit if left to purchase on their own. The overall and end goal is to eventually lower cost of the technology. You do this buy more people buying, this is also why once it reached a certain level the incentives stopped. Taxpayers for the most part pay in to help secure their future. This is just one more step the government is trying to help with that goal in mind.

I doubt this actually convinced you to understand the reasons why the incentives are in place most people have a hard time seeing and understanding the big picture, and this too is ok.

Great then I am sure you are all for the billions of dollars taxpayers subsidize the oil industry who puts up multi-billion dollar profits each quarter but somehow need the taxpayers to support their business.
Check the carbon output created in generating the electricity needed to charge the car and compare it to the carbon output on an ICE. No comparison, hands down the EV wins.
Let's end all the corporate subsidies. This program is a drop in the bucket compared to what we are throwing away on other programs.

MrEnergyCzar, I am 16 years old and today I was going on the internet to research for my Electric car project for my Physics class. I stumbled upon this website and I saw your comment saying you had a video showing that you have a net-zero solar home. I was intrigued by this because I really don't know many people who can say that. I ended up watching all 4 of your videos and was very impressed with what you've done. All of the tips you provided in the videos I will definitely invest in when I build my own home in the upcoming years after college. I have land and I intend on building a net-zero solar home on that land once I become financially established in my computer engineering career. As for the books you recommended, I plan on reading these and hope that I can become more informed in this field. I just wanted to say thank you for your post and I hope you can inform many others with your knowledge.

What's so extraordinary is that automobile feat with regenerative braking is often author economic than your typical intrinsic oxidization setup. Equal with half the galvanic cater existence combust (forward a inundated galvanizing or plug-in), it's an advance over oxidization oil, especially from tar sands, at low efficiency. And to me it's a more amend promotion than corn-based alcohol, since it means a faster changeover from certainty on oil, and reaction of the domestic and orbicular risks therein. Not to comment that anything that helps lessen responsibility benefits the substance as prices increase along with the rivalry for resources. Otherwise, I'm reliable we'll hear lots of Americans whining when solon Asian and Indians assay.

Hybrid cars are not as great as people think. The battery aspect drains a lot of juice and takes a lot of energy to make them. So not sure how "green" they really are. Tax incentives are nice but are we kidding ourselves with being eco-friendly? At my firm I work with lots of CEO's on helping them to get tax write offs and we discussed this option. Not sure if its the best though. http://executivecoachingx.com

The electric car is 170 years old. This may sound surprising, but e-cars predate automobiles with a combustion engine. They were driven out of the market in the beginning of the 20th century because petrol engines had significantly better mileage. One century later, the electric car still faces the same – fundamental – problems. Furthermore, the need for batteries makes them eco-unfriendly by nature.

Hi There,

The whole idea of electric cars is really great as it will save our planet in the long run. However, the cars are not powerful enough so I think it will take some years and more research before we get to that level. So until them, we at charm bracelet charms believe that most people will continue to drive their gas-driven cars for now.

I am disappointed that the hybrid car tax credits have been removed and this would have hurt a lot of pockets! But I suppose the government must look into the financial viability as and when the situation arises and keep the interest of the larger issue in focus!! But it is a pity that they have completely stopped the relief for the hybrid and are encouraging the purchase of plug-in hybrids and electric cars – wish a small percentage was allotted to the earlier allotted hybrid gas-electric cars as well – it would keep everyone happy!!

I think the authorities need to focus more on supporting any one kind of environmentally friendly form of transportation. If we look more closely at electrical cars, we need to see where America gets its electricity. Most of it is from burning oil, coal and gas. This is unfeasible in the long run because changing over from direct fossil fuel insertions to electric cars will not make much difference overall. It may change consumption distributions but not consumption overall. This constant seesawing should stop and hybrid cars should be supported fully.

As much as I like your idea of "why should someone pay for someone elses stuff" don't forget how much these vehicles really do help our situation in pollution, consumption, and overall effect on our planet. Also don't forget that no matter how electricity is produced the carbon footprint is much lower than that of a car running on it's own gas or diesel power. Do your homework you will see! Buy a hybrid, get 40+ mpg and you will never look at things the same. :)

It's unfortunate that the U.S. isn't taking full advantage of this opportunity in terms of it's intrinsic shift, leveraging it via marketing to both help the world and stimulate the economy. Not to mention, the oil and car companies could keep their stronghold if only they shifted their perspectives to a greener one. Hopefully the big money that shapes the daily world will catch up to universal investment practices.

Interesting article. Did you know that in 2009 the Japanese government implemented a set of policies and incentives that included a scrappage program, tax breaks on hybrid vehicles and other low emission cars and trucks, and a higher levy on gasoline that raised prices in the order of USD 4.50 per gallon. New hybrid car sales for 2009 were almost triple those for 2008.

Hybrid cars are awesome and more incentives need to be introduced by worldwide governments for consumers to buy more of them.

Great post!

Governments need to bring back tax credit incentives for hybrid cars as soon as possible. In this day and age of knowing how much regular vehicles contribute to the world's problems it is ridiculous they aren't an option for consumers of hybrid cars.

Thanks for the post

Wow. Very acerbic. How do you feel about your taxpayer support (to the tune of over $10Billion) of exon, Mobil, Gulf and the rest of the oil company beneficiaries out there. What about Arthur Daniels Midland and Cargill, Also receiving billions of your (yes - it is just you isn't it) tax dollars as rebates. What about the 5% of this country's richest individuals who own more than 80% of this country's wealth paying less taxes than the bottom 90% (HEY - don't know which group you're in do I?)

You really need some perspective buddy. I suspect you're a teabagger but maybe I'm wrong. You're just wasting bandwidth as far as I can see...

The whole rebate is a scam by the government and the auto dealers are perpetuating it by claiming the $7500 credit will be good when their cars arrive but as of 12/31/2011 the credit expires even if Nissan has only sold 10,000 LEAF's in the USA the credit is not going to help future buyers after that 1st 10,000 despite the government's intention of phasing it out after 200,000 are sold it will be gone in just 3 more months!

There is going to be one helluva fallout from all of this as people walk away from their deals being negotitated and the entire industry will collapse before it even get's started.

Before GM killed the electric car.

Now Obama has killed it!

Thanks Obama for another stupid act by you.

Nobody ever had a problem with the govt subsidizing all sorts of other BS, like corn. The justifications were parroted in defense of those backwards subsidies, but when the govt wants to encourage a vital technology that will take us off the payroll of wahhabist theocracies and take us away from dependency on fighting for our fuel in far-off sandpits, all of the sudden people get their skivvies in a twist. Unbelievable.

Yes, the country is in fact broke, but look at how much money is still being wasted on other less-important things.

With more plug-in hybrids, we might be able to minimize our oil dependency on other nations.

[...Support for electric car incentives is apparently accelerating. There are multiple proposals to enhance the $7,500 tax credit for electric cars to an instant rebate available at the time of purchase. This would help avoid EV shoppers not being able to claim the full credit when it comes to tax time—a common problem when hybrid shoppers lost some of the value of their credits due to the Alternative Minimum Tax...] hardwood floors
