Earning Your Electric Vehicle (EV) Federal Tax Credit at BMW of Bridgewater

The federal government is well adept at enticing consumers. This especially true when it seeks to preserve air quality and the environment. So, in the ongoing effort to reduce tailpipe emissions and lessen our collective reliance on fossil fuels, the federal government offers those who qualify a federal tax credit with the piurchase of an EV.

These vehicles all qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500, offering you even more incentive to picture yourself in one of the BMW PHEV options for sale at BMW of Bridgewater. Coupled with the tax credit are other benefits and incentives as well. Together we can drive towards a cleaner environment in a BMW PHEV sedan or Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV).

What is The EV Federal Tax Credit?

In very simple terms, a tax credit of any kind subtracts from your overall tax bill. Say, for example, your federal tax bill for a certain year comprised $8,500. With the purchase of a 2021 BMW 330e sedan, you're automatically afforded the EV Federal Tax Credit of $7,500, which leaves $1,000 as a tax bill balance.

Should your tax bill for any given year be $6,500, and you purchased a BMW 530e sedan that same year, your tax liability is "zero." As well, that remaining $1,000 in EV Federal Tax Credit will be applied to the following year's tax bill. Naturally.

There are other monetary advantages, as well. These include:

• Lower ownership costs considering the cash saved on reduced fuel reliance.
• On the BMW PHEV battery alone, there's an eight-year, 80,000-mile limited warranty.
• In some states, access to HOV lanes is permissible when driving a BMW 745e xDrive sedan with a single occupant.
• Charging at home is easy, and may also be accomplished at thousands of public-charging stations. The beauty of a BMW PHEV is pure-electric roaming until the hybrid operation kicks in, utilizing fuel reserves. So, should a public-charging station be out-of-reach, you'll get there with fuel powering.
