Which Chevy Vehicles Qualify for the EV Tax Credit?

 
If you plan to transition to an electric vehicle for your 2025 Milwaukee adventures, chances are you’ve looked over the excellent Chevrolet EV lineup. In addition to being cleaner, more environmentally friendly, and quieter to drive, the federal government also incentivizes new car buyers to purchase EVs by providing tax credits of up to $7,500. In this guide by Heiser Chevrolet of West Allis, we’ll lay out some important information, such as what Chevy cars qualify for the EV tax credit, how and why a vehicle qualifies, and more.

We’ll answer your top questions: Does the Chevy Bolt qualify for the text credit? Is there a Chevy Equinox EV tax credit? Does the Chevy Silverado qualify for the tax credit? Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Federal EV Tax Credit: How to Qualify

A vehicle must meet certain standards to qualify for the federal EV tax credit. Please review them below, and contact us if you have any questions.

To qualify for the federal EV tax credit, the seller must report the required information to you and the IRS at the time of sale, and you must not exceed certain income eligibility thresholds. In addition, the vehicle must:

• Be bought new
• Not to exceed an MSRP of $80,000 for vans, SUVs, and trucks
• Not to exceed an MSRP of $55,000 for other vehicles
• Have a battery capacity of at least 7 kWh
• Have a GVWR of less than 14,000 pounds
• Be made by a qualified manufacturer
• Undergo final assembly in North America
• Meet critical mineral and/or battery component requirements

In addition to the IRS resource provided above, you can use the NHTSA VIN Decoder to determine where your vehicle was assembled. But now, let’s turn our attention to Chevy and their EV lineup. So, is there a Chevy Equinox EV tax credit? Does the Chevy Bolt qualify for the tax credit? And for Wauwatosa truck lovers, does the Chevy Silverado EV qualify for the tax credit?

Does the Chevy Bolt Qualify for the Tax Credit?

While there are plans to return the Bolt EV to the lineup as a GM Ultium-platform-based model in late 2025, it isn’t available to New Berlin drivers (or anyone else, for that matter) yet. So while we do think that it will ultimately qualify, it’s difficult to be certain at the moment.

Is there a Chevy Equinox EV Tax Credit?

Yes. According to the EPA, the 2025 Equinox EV and Blazer EV are both eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit. However, please avail yourself of the resources above and the expert knowledge of our Heiser Chevrolet of West Allis associates to be sure, since it’s not guaranteed that all versions of all models will necessarily qualify.

Does the Chevy Silverado EV Qualify for the Tax Credit?

Yes! Like the Chevy Equinox and Blazer, the EPA’s Vehicle Eligibility Search tool shows that the Silverado EV qualifies for the full $7,500 credit amount. However, as is the case with non-truck vehicles, not all versions or trims of the Silverado may necessarily qualify for the tax credit, whether partially or in full. Please check with us, the premier Chevy dealership in the West Allis area, to determine the eligibility of your specific vehicle.
