Volkswagen Drivers: The Federal EV Tax Credit Ends September 30, 2025

July 17th, 2025 by

If you’ve been thinking about making the switch to an electric Volkswagen, now is the time to act. The federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for new EVs is set to expire on September 30, 2025. After this date, the credit will no longer be available on any new EV purchases — including Volkswagen models.

Which VW Models Qualify

At Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Kennesaw, we’re proud to offer EVs that currently qualify for the full federal credit, including:

  • Volkswagen ID.4 – Assembled in Chattanooga, TN, the ID.4 meets the necessary domestic production and battery sourcing requirements for the credit.

To qualify, your ID.4 must be delivered and registered on or before September 30, 2025.

Why This Deadline Matters

Once the credit expires, there is no extension or phase-out. Deliveries made after September 30 will not qualify, even if you ordered your vehicle before that date. With high demand expected as the deadline approaches, securing your ID.4 early ensures you lock in the savings while inventory lasts.

How to Claim the Credit

Volkswagen buyers can apply the $7,500 federal tax credit in two ways:

  • As an immediate discount when purchasing through a participating dealer like Jim Ellis VW of Kennesaw

  • As a credit when filing your 2025 federal taxes by using IRS Form 8936

Ask us how you can take advantage of the credit right at the time of purchase.

What You Should Do Now

  • Reserve your Volkswagen ID.4 today to ensure timely delivery

  • Confirm with our team that your vehicle qualifies for the credit

  • Plan your purchase to stay well ahead of the September 30 deadline

  • Speak with your tax advisor to determine the best option for claiming the credit

Still a Smart Move After the Credit Ends

Even beyond the tax incentive, the Volkswagen ID.4 offers long-term savings on fuel and maintenance, along with the latest in tech, safety, and comfort. Plus, as VW continues to invest in EV technology and U.S. production, buyers can feel confident in their choice.
