Lock In Your Federal EV Tax Credit in Orlando Before It Ends

July 28th, 2025 by

Thinking about going electric or plug‑in hybrid? Act now. Federal clean‑vehicle tax credits of up to $7,500 for new models and up to $4,000 for eligible used models are scheduled to end after September 30, 2025 under recently enacted federal tax legislation. To qualify, you must purchase and take delivery on or before September 30, 2025. After that date, the credits go away.

At Sport Mazda South9786 S. Orange Blossom Trail, Orlando, FL 32837 • 321‑235‑6764 — our team will verify your eligibility, line up qualifying vehicles, and help you take delivery before the deadline.

Why Move Now

  • Claim thousands in federal savings. Qualifying buyers can receive up to $7,500 on new EVs/PHEVs or up to $4,000 on eligible used clean vehicles, if delivered by Sept. 30, 2025. Credits are nonrefundable; point‑of‑sale transfer to the dealer is allowed.

  • Lease savings end the same day. The popular “commercial lease” pass‑through that often yielded a full $7,500 incentive on leases also ends after Sept. 30, 2025.

  • Lower ownership costs. EVs typically reduce fuel and maintenance costs; many utilities offer off‑peak charging rates. (Check your utility for details.)

How the Federal Credit Works (Through Sept. 30, 2025)

To receive the new‑vehicle credit you must:

  • Take delivery by Sept. 30, 2025.

  • Meet income limits: up to $150,000 (single), $225,000 (head of household), $300,000 (joint).

  • Buy an eligible vehicle that is assembled in North America, meets battery sourcing rules, and is under the MSRP caps: $55,000 (cars) or $80,000 (SUVs/pickups/vans).

  • Used clean‑vehicle credit: up to $4,000 for qualifying used EVs/PHEVs (price cap $25,000, lower income limits), also ending after Sept. 30, 2025.

Our finance team will produce the IRS time‑of‑sale report and, if you choose, apply the credit at the point of sale so you don’t wait for tax season.

What About Mazda Eligibility?

  • CX‑70 PHEV & CX‑90 PHEV: Final assembly in Japan means they generally do not qualify for the federal new‑vehicle credit. Many customers instead capture savings via $7,500 Mazda Lease Customer Cash on eligible PHEV leases — available only until Sept. 30, 2025, when lease incentives tied to the federal credit end.

  • CX‑50 Hybrid (HEV): A conventional (non‑plug‑in) hybrid — regular hybrids do not qualify for the federal clean‑vehicle credit.

  • Used EVs/PHEVs: You may still qualify for the used clean‑vehicle credit if the vehicle and your income meet IRS rules and delivery occurs by Sept. 30, 2025. We’ll confirm eligibility for any used EV/PHEV on our lot.

Good news on chargers: The home EV charger credit (Form 8911) remains available longer — currently through June 30, 2026 — covering 30% of hardware and installation costs (up to $1,000) for eligible households.

How Sport Mazda South Helps You Beat the Deadline

  • Eligibility check in minutes. We’ll review income thresholds, vehicle assembly, battery requirements, MSRP caps, and prepare the IRS time‑of‑sale documentation.

  • Lease or buy guidance. We’ll compare purchasing vs. leasing a CX‑70 PHEV or CX‑90 PHEV, including Mazda lease cash opportunities available before Sept. 30, 2025.

  • Delivery scheduling. We’ll prioritize in‑stock units and coordinate transport to ensure delivery by Sept. 30, 2025.

  • Charging advice. We’ll walk you through home charging options and credits, and point you to local installers.
