EV Tax Credits for Fleets: Claim Up to $40K Before the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit Ends

Looking to electrify your fleet and save big while doing it? Now’s the time. The Commercial Clean Vehicle Tax Credit, one of the most powerful EV tax credits in the U.S., is ending September 30, 2025. Businesses can receive up to $40,000 per qualifying electric truck, van, or bus but only if action is taken before the deadline.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) has slashed federal government support for electric vehicles but presents a near-term opportunity as current tax incentives approach their accelerated expiration. 

What Is the Commercial Clean Vehicle Tax Credit?

Created under the Inflation Reduction Act, this IRS-backed incentive helps companies and tax-exempt organizations transition to electric fleets. Here’s how it works:

• $7,500 to $40,000 in credits per eligible vehicle
  Applies to:
• Small EVs less than 14,000 pounds: cars, vans, trucks, and similar passenger-sized vehicles  
• Medium- and heavy-duty commercial EVs over 14,000 pounds: school buses and semi-trucks
• Available to both private companies and public agencies
  
• Must be placed in service before September 30, 2025
  
• File using IRS Form 8936-A

More information is available on the official IRS EV tax credit page.
