Thanks for that info! should come in pretty handy soon BUT unfortinately they REALLY limited it to "production" EV's

I am not sure if this is for a new hybred or electric car but on Febuary 11th there is a revision due for the 2007 income tax credits. I'll keep you informed. Some new program of form.

I did my taxes and they had a lot of new things you can do pertaining EV's in there. for both federal and state.

Unfortunatly the federal tax credit does not pertain to my car. Had I bought it brand new and then converted it to electric then it probably would have worked but being that I bought a used car then converted it they say it won't qualify. It makes the Saturn Sky progect seem almost feasable.

I believe that this link is an update of the government one that is listed at the start of this thread.

I wonder if it applies to cars already put into service?

The New form will be available in May and you can ammend your tax return as I read it.

Note About the February 2009 Revision of Form 8834
The February 2009 revision of Form 8834, Qualified Electric Vehicle Credit, may be filed
with calendar year 2008 tax returns and for filers who have a carryover of a qualified

issue a May 2009 revision of Form 8834 with a new title, Qualified Electric and Plug-In
Electric Vehicle Credit. The May 2009 revision will incorporate the qualified plug-in

I called IRS again today and talked to the Complx Laws Division about the tax credit for Electric Vehicles.
There might be a new ruling out in November and clearer guidlines on the subject.

It looks like you have to have put your car into service after Fevuary 17, 2009

Here is a link to the new laws set by the federal government pertaining to the 2009 tax year.

In order for me to qualify I have to build a new ev with my old components, this year.
