Important Reminders Related to the Termination of the Clean Vehicle Credits

The One, Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB) (Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72 (July 4, 2025)), accelerated the termination of the Clean Vehicle Credit, sections 30D, 25E, and 45W.

On August 21, 2025, IRS issued frequently asked questions (FAQs) in Fact Sheet 2025-05 relating to the modification of sections 25C, 25D, 25E, 30C, 30D, 45L, 45W, and 179D under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB).

Key points in the FAQs include:

New user registrations for the Clean Vehicle Credit program, through the Energy Credits Online (ECO) portal, will close on September 30, 2025.
The ECO portal will remain open beyond September 30, 2025, for limited usage by previously registered users to submit time of sale reports and updates to such reports, such as when there has been a vehicle returned.

Important Reminders:

If you are not fully registered to use ECO and anticipate needing to submit a time of sale report and/or request the buyer’s credit when they elect to transfer their credit to the dealer at the time of sale, please register now.
Please promptly submit time of sale reports, returns, and cancellations.
- Note: Time of sale reports are required to be submitted through ECO within 3 calendar days of the date of sale.
Dealers can now upload supporting documentation with the submission of a time of sale report. Dealers are encouraged to upload supporting documentation such as the complete vehicle deal jacket and any documents pertaining to the clean vehicle credit, which may expedite any review process.

For more information on the expiration of the clean vehicle credits, please see Fact Sheet 2025-05.
