One of the biggest targets of the bill is a tax credit for electric vehicles.

While the federal EV credit has been around since 2009 – providing up to $7,500 for for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, and helping to bridge the EV adoption gap that is a pillar of the transition to net zero – the “One Big Beautiful Bill” will eliminate the federal electric vehicle tax credit after September 30, 2025. With the average EV retailing around $57,734 – compared to $48,799 for gas-powered cars, according to Kelley Blue Book – the elimination of the tax credit could significantly hinder EV adoption for years to come. A look at Department of Energy data reveals the makes and models that will lose their tax credit under Trump’s bill.
Current tax credit eligibility is dependent on several factors, including price, assembly location, battery components and critical minerals sourcing. To determine which EVs will lose their federal tax credit, Climate Crisis 247 reviewed federal data on credit eligibility from the U.S. Department of Energy. Vehicles currently eligible for the full $7,500 credit – which could disappear by September – in the 2025 purchase year were ordered alphabetically.
