ELITE Vehicles Act

United States119th CongressS-541Senate
Updated: Feb 12, 2025

Summary

This legislative proposal, named the "ELITE Vehicles Act," aims to significantly reduce federal incentives for electric vehicles and associated infrastructure. It specifically targets the repeal of several key tax credits currently available under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The bill proposes to eliminate the existing tax credit for the purchase of new clean vehicles and the credit for previously-owned clean vehicles . Furthermore, it repeals the tax credit for qualified commercial clean vehicles , impacting businesses that acquire such vehicles. These changes would apply to vehicles purchased or contracted for more than 30 days after the bill's enactment. Additionally, the "ELITE Vehicles Act" amends the Internal Revenue Code to specifically exclude electric vehicle recharging property from qualifying for the alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit. This means that property used for charging electric vehicles would no longer be eligible for this particular tax incentive. The effective date for this exclusion is also 30 days after enactment for property purchased or contracted.
