What Should Mercedes-Benz Buyers Know About EV Tax Credits and Home Charger Incentives?
Federal incentives for electric vehicles are changing. The Clean Vehicle Credit—offering up to $7,500—is currently available but scheduled to expire on September 30, 2025, unless extended. Separately, the tax credit for installing a home EV charger ends June 30, 2026. If you're planning to purchase or lease a Mercedes-Benz EV, now is the time to understand your options.
How the Clean Vehicle Credit Works—and Who Qualifies
The tax credit is divided into two parts:
- $3,750 if the vehicle meets mineral sourcing rules
- $3,750 if it meets battery component manufacturing standards
Eligibility varies by model and where it’s built. Some Mercedes-Benz EVs may qualify for the full credit, others may qualify for only part—or none at all. Verifying eligibility before you buy is key.
What Conditions Must Be Met for a Mercedes-Benz EV to Qualify?
For a Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle to be eligible:
- It must be new at the time of purchase
- It must include a battery with 7+ kilowatt-hours
- It must weigh under 14,000 pounds
- Final assembly must occur in North America
- It must be produced by a qualified manufacturer
Price caps apply:
- $80,000 MSRP limit for SUVs, vans, and trucks
- $55,000 MSRP limit for sedans and other vehicles
Buyers must meet income thresholds, and the dealer must file the required documentation with the IRS.
Are These Incentives Permanent?
No. The Clean Vehicle Credit ends on September 30, 2025, and the home charger incentive expires June 30, 2026—unless extended by future legislation. The safest way to secure these benefits is to act while they’re still active.
