Stellantis and BMW Offering Rebates to Cover Expired Federal EV Tax Credits
The automakers aren’t ready for a world where EV costs rise by $7500, with both offering customer rebates now that the EPA’s tax credit is gone.

BMW and Stellantis are both offering customers a discount to buy electric vehicles.
The automakers are replicating the now-defunct EPA tax credit for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
The Stellantis program will only extend while inventory lasts, while BMW is offering the rebate through the end of October.
UPDATE 10/09/25: A representative for Stellantis confirmed that the company is replicating the federal tax incentives. According to the spokesperson, Stellantis is providing a bonus cash offer for electric and plug-in hybrid models in its inventory.
In the months between the Trump administration announcing that it would end the $7500 federal EV tax credit and the credit actually going away on September 30, EV sales absolutely soared. Customers on the fence about buying an electric vehicle were given a hard deadline to make a decision, and automakers profited. But now that the federal help is gone, automakers are left with electric vehicles to sell and a customer base that doesn’t want to pay higher prices. BMW and Stellantis are delaying those higher prices by replicating the program—at least for now.
According to a report from Electrek, Stellantis confirmed that it will replicate the EPA program for its full lineup of electric and plug-in hybrid models. That list includes the Alfa Romeo Tonale, Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Charger Daytona, Dodge Hornet R/T, Jeep Wrangler 4xe, Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, and the Jeep Wagoneer S. According to the Electrek report, the automaker will only offer the credit on models already in its inventory, meaning it could end any day now.
BMW
In BMW’s case, it’s offering $7500 off the MSRP of its entire lineup of fully electric vehicles. However, the automaker is being less generous with its plug-in models. BMW is offering a $5000 credit off the price of the 750e xDrive PHEV sedan, but not for the 550e or the X5 xDrive50e.
A representative for BMW declined Car and Driver’s request to comment fully at this time, but they did confirm that the offer is available on vehicles financed through BMW Financial Services, but not on leased vehicles. Customers need to take delivery of their car by November 1 to be eligible for the rebate. The Stellantis offer has a slightly longer tail, and customers are required to take delivery by November 3.
