What’s Happening With EVs Right Now (and What’s In Stock at Quirk)
Updated: August 13, 2025
What’s changing with EV incentives 🇺🇸
- 🗓️ Federal EV tax credits end after September 30, 2025. Through the deadline, eligible buyers can still receive up to $7,500 on new EVs (and up to $4,000 on qualifying used EVs).
- 🧾 Point-of-sale still applies until the sunset: dealers submit an IRS time-of-sale report (generally within 3 calendar days) so the credit can be applied at checkout.
- 📉 After Sept 30: federal purchase incentives stop under current law. State/local programs may continue separately.

Maine context 🦞
- 🔌 Home charging + growing public DC fast charging make daily EV use straightforward for most Mainers.
- ❄️ Cold-weather features like battery preconditioning, heat pumps, and available AWD help winter performance.
- 💡 Efficiency Maine Off-Peak EV Rebates (for low- and moderate-income households, plus government entities) can stack with federal savings before Sept 30 if you qualify. Pre-approval and an approved off-peak charger are required.
