If you’ve been considering a Kia electric vehicle, now is the time to make a move. The $7,500 federal tax credit for eligible new EVs is officially ending on September 30, 2025. This change comes as part of new federal legislation that cuts the credit short with no phase-out or extension.

As of now, several Kia models remain eligible for the full $7,500 credit if delivered on or before the deadline:

• 2025 Kia EV6 – now assembled in West Point, Georgia, and meets North American assembly and sourcing requirements
• 2026 Kia EV9 – certain trims built in the U.S. qualify; GT-Line trims assembled in South Korea may not
• Kia Niro EV – remains eligible depending on availability and assembly location

It’s important to confirm your vehicle’s eligibility based on trim, final assembly location, and compliance with IRS battery component sourcing requirements.

This isn’t just a sales tactic—vehicles must be delivered and registered by September 30, 2025, to qualify for the credit. Orders placed in advance that are delayed past this date will not receive the incentive.

While the federal credit is ending, Kia continues to expand its EV lineup and charging network access. Even without the tax credit, Kia EVs offer excellent range, technology, and value—but if you want to maximize your savings, now is the time to act.
