Form 8910

IRS form 8910 is used to get the exact tax credit for an alternate fuel vehicle. Many such options are phased out totally in the next income tax year. Cars working on batteries (crude hydrocarbon used as motor fuel) qualify for it.

Additionally, the vehicle requires meeting the model year certification where the exact information related to tax credit can be provided by the car dealer, who can tell what the models are that qualify for it and what could be the amount. 

In the US, you can qualify, if you are the original owner or a lessor, and are using the vehicle as a primary car. One cannot get it for buying a green fuel car for selling to other users.

The options are not permanent and many earlier rules have been phased out which have been replaced by different rules, models, makes, and model years.

There are ways you can place your claims for older models if you bought the vehicle after 2017; you can claim credit in 2018. If the vehicle comes under the depreciable asset and is used in a business, one can claim the business credit, or if it is bought for personal use, claim tax credit through form 1040.
