Read MoreHide Full Article
Per Reuters, General Motors Company (GM - Free Report) sold 200,000 electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States by the end of 2018. With this, the auto giant reached the limit, which may lead to the phasing out of a $7,500 federal tax credit over the next 15 months. Notably, the 200,000 figure includes this automaker’s cumulative EV sales since 2010.
The federal tax credit is offered to lower the up-front costs of plug-in EVs. The manufacturer will be eligible for this tax credit up to 200,000 qualified EVs have been sold in the United States. Once that limit is reached, credit begins to phase out for the manufacturer. General Motors reached the limit in fourth-quarter 2018. This implies that in April the credit will decline to $3,750. Then, it will further decline to $1,875 in October for six months. By April 2020, the tax credit will disappear completely.
