A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
What happens to the EV tax credit if I return the lease early?
The tax credit is between the leasing company and the IRS, not you. If you return the lease early, the credit stays with the leasing company and has no direct impact on your taxes. Your obligation is to settle any early termination fees per your lease agreement. The credit itself does not need to be repaid by you when the lease ends.

Great experience from start to finish with the team. Made the process very easy and worked with us through the whole process, answering any and all questions. And actually returned all phone calls and texts. Ended up with the car we wanted at the price we wanted.

Great service! Sean worked with me over a couple of weeks to get a car that fit my budget and that I love. They delivered the car right to my house with a full tank of gas, signed some paper work and I was done. 100% would recommend.

Smoothest car transaction I’ve ever experienced. Quick, yet detailed, responses to all my questions. It’s a process I always dread but Sean made it seem so easy and more affordable. Highly recommend

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!
