Update:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Plug In America Friends,<\/p>\n

Congress voted February 9 on a budget deal that included a number of tax credit extensions that had previously expired. For EV Drivers, we had two small victories!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

First, the 30% tax credit for charging stations was extended until Dec. 31, 2017<\/strong>. While clearly this date has already passed, anyone who purchased a charging station in 2017 can claim a 30% tax credit for the purchase.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the 10% tax credit for 2 and 3 wheeled electric motorcycles was extended until December 31, 2017<\/strong>. Again, while this date has already passed, anyone who purchased an electric motorcycle last year can claim the credit, capped at $2,500. See a summary of the extenders package here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We fought hard for an extension until the end of 2018 for these two credits, but the majority of all the credits included were only a one year retroactive extension. We will continue to look for opportunities to win a longer extension.<\/p>\n

We also fought to have the cap lifted on the $7,500 tax credit for EV purchases, and while there was some support, the extenders package was kept to a limited number of already expired credits.<\/strong><\/em> As Congress moves forward with a transportation infrastructure package, we will continue to fight on lifting the cap on the EV tax credit so that the credit works for more drivers over a longer time frame.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned: We will call upon you to step up and help us lead this charge again, soon.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Original post – February 7, 2018
\nUrgent!<\/p>\n

Calling all EV drivers and supporters!<\/p>\n

We need you to contact your Senators and Representatives right now! As a part of the legislative action to keep the government running, the House and the Senate will be voting today<\/u> on whether to also include a package with tax credits for EVs. This package, S.2256, the Tax Extender Act of 2017<\/a>, includes a two year extension of the 30% tax credit for EV charging infrastructure for homes and businesses and the 10% tax credit for 2-3 wheeled electric motorcycles. Both credits are retroactive to include purchases made since Dec. 31, 2016.<\/p>\n

We want Congress to support these two tax credits, but they could do more. We also need them to lift the cap on the $7,500 EV tax credit<\/u>. That isn\u2019t yet in the bill\u2014but could be added in with your support.<\/p>\n

The moment is now – support S.2256.<\/b><\/p>\n
