The clock is ticking for electric vehicle shoppers in San Angelo and across the country. The federal EV tax credit—worth up to $7,500 on new vehicles and $4,000 on qualifying used EVs—is officially ending on September 30, 2025. That means buyers only have a short window left to take advantage of one of the best ways to save money on a new Ford EV like the Mustang Mach-E.

Here at Jim Bass Ford, we want to make sure our customers understand what this deadline means, how to qualify, and how we can help you lock in your savings before the opportunity disappears.


What You Need to Know

The Deadline Is Firm

To qualify, you must have a signed purchase agreement and payment completed by September 30, 2025. Even if delivery happens later, your credit will be secured as long as paperwork is finalized before the deadline.

How Much You Can Save

  • New EVs: Up to $7,500 off.
  • Used EVs: Up to $4,000 or 30% of the vehicle price (whichever is less).

Who Qualifies

There are income caps for buyers:

  • $150,000 or less for single filers
  • $225,000 or less for heads of household
  • $300,000 or less for joint filers

For used EVs, the buyer’s income cap is lower, and the vehicle must be purchased from a dealership, be at least two years old, and cost under $25,000.

Vehicle Requirements

To qualify for the new vehicle credit, the EV must:

  • Be assembled in North America
  • Meet price caps ($55,000 for cars, $80,000 for SUVs, trucks, and vans)
  • Use batteries sourced from approved regions

How You Receive the Credit

Since 2024, buyers can apply the credit directly at the point of sale—meaning your Jim Bass Ford team can lower your purchase price by up to $7,500 immediately, no waiting until tax season.


Why Acting Now Matters

With the expiration date fast approaching, EV demand is spiking. More buyers are signing purchase agreements ahead of the deadline, and dealerships nationwide are already seeing increased interest in eligible EV models. Waiting too long may mean fewer available vehicles or missing out entirely on the credit.

By shopping now, you’ll:

  • Lock in your eligibility before the credit expires
  • Take advantage of current Ford offers and incentives
  • Avoid last-minute competition and limited inventory
