Stellantis Offers Discount on Electrified Vehicles to Replace Expired Federal Tax Credit

Stellantis is helping dealers move electrified vehicles by offering an equivalent discount to the federal tax credit that expired in September. The automaker's decision is a welcome development for dealers, joining General Motors, Ford Motor Co., and Hyundai in implementing workarounds to account for the loss of the credit. Stellantis' roster of electrified models includes the fully electric Jeep Wagoneer S and Dodge Charger Daytona, as well as plug-in hybrids such as Jeep's Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe. The bonus cash offer is applicable for leases and purchases.

Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat, has introduced a $7,500 cash incentive to help dealers move electrified vehicles in the wake of the federal tax credit expiration. This move aligns with similar strategies adopted by General Motors, Ford Motor Co., and Hyundai to address the loss of the EV tax credit. The incentive is applicable for both leases and purchases and is designed to boost the sales of Stellantis' electric and plug-in hybrid models, such as the fully electric Jeep Wagoneer S and Dodge Charger Daytona, as well as plug-in hybrids like the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe Stellantis posts first sales growth in 2 years, extends EV tax credit through 2025^[1].
