The federal credits have closed. Earlier placements can still be claimed.
Chargers and vehicles placed in service before the cutoff dates remain eligible, and much of that filing work has not come due yet. FuSE refers this work to Giraffe Financial, our sister company.
Three credits, all closed to new activity
Federal tax legislation enacted in July 2025 ended the Inflation Reduction Act's EV and charging credits ahead of their original schedule.
Alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit
Closed for property placed in service after June 30, 2026.
Commercial clean vehicle credit
Closed for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025.
New clean vehicle credit
Closed for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025.
No new activity qualifies. What matters now is capturing what already does. Dates and eligibility rules should be confirmed against current IRS guidance before you rely on them.
What can still be claimed
Chargers energized on or before June 30, 2026, remain eligible, and many of those claims are filed on returns that have not yet come due. Vehicles and equipment from earlier years can often still be captured through amended returns.
Tax-exempt and government entities claiming through elective pay have an additional step — IRS pre-filing registration — which has to be completed before a return is filed and takes time to work through.
Credits that have already been generated also retain value independently of your own tax position, since they can be transferred to a buyer rather than carried forward.
Referred to Giraffe Financial
Tax credit work sits with Giraffe Financial, FuSE's sister company, which focuses on generating and transacting IRA tax credits in the electrification industry. We make the introduction and stay involved on the asset side.
That involvement matters because the assets are usually the same ones already in our system. The chargers and vehicles generating your clean fuel program credits are the chargers and vehicles a tax credit claim is built on, so the placed-in-service dates, site records, and equipment details behind a claim are records we already maintain.
FuSE is not a tax advisor and does not provide tax, accounting, or legal advice. Eligibility, deadlines, and filing requirements should be confirmed with your own advisor.

Send us your charger and vehicle list with placed-in-service dates, and we'll flag what looks eligible and introduce you to the right people at Giraffe.
