ELITE Vehicles Act
The ELITE Vehicles Act repeals three key tax credits for electric vehicles under the Internal Revenue Code: the clean vehicle credit (Section 30D), the credit for previously-owned clean vehicles (Section 25E), and the credit for qualified commercial clean vehicles (Section 45W). It also excludes electric vehicle recharging property from the alternative fuel vehicle refueling credit. These changes directly affect individuals and businesses purchasing new or used electric vehicles, as well as those installing EV charging infrastructure, by eliminating the associated tax benefits. The repeal applies to vehicles purchased or under binding contract after 30 days following the bill's enactment.
