If you’re considering going electric with a stylish and high-performance INFINITI, now is absolutely the time to act. The federal EV tax credit, offering up to $7,500 on new electric vehicles, is still available, but it’s set to expire on September 30, 2025, unless extended by Congress.That leaves just over two months from today to make your purchase or lease at Grand INFINITI of Macon and lock in significant savings.
The landscape of EV policy is shifting fast: a new federal law, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” is rolling back key incentives sooner than anticipated. Industry analysts expect a surge in EV sales through September as buyers rush to capitalize on the $7,500 credit — and that includes savvy Georgian drivers looking to save big.
Why You Should Accelerate Your Purchase
Substantial savings: $7,500 off reduces the cost of an electric INFINITI or other qualifying EV models dramatically.
Expiring soon: Credits end Sept. 30, 2025 — post-deadline, MSRP remains at full price.
Post-September market risk: EV sales may dip once the incentive vanishes, and final vehicle availability might tighten
Lease loophole: Even if a model doesn’t meet battery sourcing rules, leasing can still capture the full credit — your INFINITI finance team can help structure this
What Makes a Vehicle Eligible?
INFINITI has rapidly embraced electrification, with models like the 2025 INFINITI QX60e and upcoming pure-electric entries on the horizon. Here’s what makes them eligible:
- Plug-in or full-electric: Only EVs or plug-in hybrids qualify.
- Assembled in North America: Post‑IRA rules mandate final assembly on the continent.
- Battery sourcing: Models must meet one or both thresholds (critical minerals and battery components) sourced domestically or from FTA countries, unlocking either $3,750 or the full $7,500.
- MSRP limits: Credit applies to SUVs/pickups priced up to $80,000; cars limited to $55,000.
Fortunately, INFINITI’s EV offerings are positioned to meet these criteria, especially the QX60e — blending luxury, performance, and local manufacturing eligibility.
How the Process Works at Grand INFINITI of Macon
Here’s a step-by-step overview of what buyers should do:
- Explore eligible inventory
Check out the QX60e or upcoming electric arrivals. - Ask about dealer credit assignment
The federal EV credit can be transferred directly to the dealer at point of sale — meaning you save immediately instead of waiting until tax time. - Verify eligibility
Grand INFINITI must report your purchase to the IRS, confirming the vehicle meets battery and assembly rules. - Finalize and take delivery by Sept. 30
Delivery before this deadline ensures you lock in the full EV credit. - Tax filing or financing
Got taxes due? You can claim it on next year’s return. Or let the dealer use that credit to reduce your vehicle’s price now.
