Yes, you can still get an EV tax credit if you order by September 30.

✅ To qualify, you must do both of the following before 11:59 pm PT on Tuesday, September 30:

  1. Sign a purchase agreement (with KeySavvy or a traditional dealer)
    ​

  2. Pay a deposit (for example, $100)

👉 You can take delivery of your vehicle after September 30 and still be eligible for the tax credit, as long as the steps above are completed on time.
​


If you’re buying through KeySavvy

Please see KeySavvy’s guide: Can I still get the EV tax credit before the deadline? for detailed instructions on their process.

Wire Deadline Reminder

  1. Wire cutoff time: EV Life funds loans by wire transfer. Banks stop processing wires at 1 pm PT on weekdays.
    ​

  2. As long as your purchase order is signed and your down payment is made by 11:59 pm PT on September 30, your loan can still include eligible tax credits — even if the wire is sent the next business day.
    ​


Important Reminders

  • EV Life is experiencing extremely high loan volume.

  • If you are approved, read your EV Life Loan Approval Letter carefully and complete the steps outlined.

  • Please also check your emails and texts from EV Life for updates.
