Going EV in 2023? Check for your Eligibility for Tax Credits
There has never been a better time for commercial fleets to transition to electrification. Why? Lower operating, fuel and maintenance costs increase the utilization factor over traditional ICE vehicles which means the overall TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is less than traditional ICE vehicles!
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 brought significant advantages to electrifying commercial fleets with credits designed to help consumers offset the transitional costs to electrification. Here’s what you need to know in 2023.

- Be made by a qualified manufacturer and produced within North America
- Be for use in your business, not for resale
- Be for use primarily in the United States
- Not have been allowed a credit under sections 30D or 45W
