IRS Details Loophole Extending Federal EV Tax Credit

After months of speculation, the government announced earlier this summer that the federal electric vehicle tax credit has an expiration date: Sept. 30. But not so fast: The Internal Revenue Service recently updated the timeline, giving some buyers a bit more time.

According to the IRS, if a buyer orders a vehicle and puts money down on it before Sept. 30 but takes delivery after that date, they can still claim the tax credit at that later date.
“If a taxpayer acquires a vehicle by having a written binding contract in place and a payment made on or before Sept. 30, 2025, then the taxpayer will be entitled to claim the credit when they place the vehicle in service (namely, when they take possession of the vehicle), even if the vehicle is placed in service after Sept. 30, 2025. Taxpayers should receive a time-of-sale report from the dealer at the time they take possession or within three days of taking possession of the vehicle,” the IRS said on its website.
What does this mean for shoppers? The extension could save them thousands: Eligible shoppers can claim a credit of up to $7,500 for new EVs and up to $4,000 for used EVs.

Long-Term 2025 Toyota 4Runner Update: How Efficient Is the Hybrid After 5,000 Miles?

2025 Toyota 4Runner Hybrid TRD Off-Road Premium | Cars.com photo by Christian Lantry
When we bought a hybrid 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium, we were intrigued by the prospect of … well, maybe not good gas mileage, but at least adequate fuel economy. If you’ve ever owned a 4Runner (I miss my 1997 Limited every day), you know that a fuel-efficient one is something of an alien concept. The all-new 2025 4Runner hybrid is EPA-rated at 23 mpg combined. How has ours performed after our first 5,000 miles of driving?

How Efficient Is the 4Runner Hybrid?
- Average calculated fuel economy: 21 mpg
- Average speed per tank: 38 mph
- Miles driven: 5,320
- Gallons of gas pumped: 253
- Total cost of fuel: $855.75
On one hand, 21 mpg from a 4Runner is excellent, relatively speaking; on the other hand, our 4Runner is a hybrid, and we were expecting closer to the EPA-estimated 23 mpg. If you’ve been following our ownership story so far, you know that a key aerodynamic piece, the front air dam, had issues staying attached. Could that have contributed? Possibly, but it’s worth noting that our second most efficient fill-up thus far — following a highway drive from Flint, Mich., to Evanston, Ill. — registered 24 mpg without the air dam attached at all. Our most efficient tank to date, at 24.7 mpg, included part of the reverse of that drive with the air dam.
The lesson here seems to be less that the air dam matters and more that the 4Runner hybrid may get closer to its 24 mpg highway EPA rating than its combined rating. In looking at our fuel-economy log, higher average speeds have tended to produce more efficient trips, though there appears to be a sweet spot at an average speed of 45 mph. Above or below that, our mileage has taken a hit.
How Did Our 5,000-Mile Service Go?
Scheduling an appointment at a nearby dealership was easy using the Toyota app, and the service itself didn’t take very long — roughly an hour and a half for a tire rotation and multipoint inspection, all at no cost to us. For our 10,000-mile scheduled service, we’ll get another tire rotation as well as an oil and filter change, per the manufacturer recommendation.
