Does anyone know if anyone successfully got the federal tax credit in the USA?
The Federal electric motorcycle tax credit expired a couple years ago. Oregon just implemented an electric vehicle tax credit program and my old memory recalls it’s two parts......$2500 for anyone purchasing a qualified EV and an additional $2500 low income guideline credit. Both the Arcimoto FUV and the EMV SOLO qualify. Best to check your State’s Tax Credit Options.

That equates to $5K max on the $20K Evergreen Edition FUV.

Hmmm no center headlight, must be for Canada.
Looks like the center headlight is included on the 1st SOLO shipment:

My state has a fine rather than a credit. The federal even credit of 7500 is still being listed for startups but I don't know if this qualifies. I asked Solo and got crickets as a response. They are usually pretty quick so I assumed that means no.

The federal credit of up to $7500 only applied to four wheeled electric vehicles. The federal credit of up to $2500 did apply to electric MCs until it expired a couple of years ago. The Solo is federally designated by the NHTSA standards as a motorcycle. Rick posted the information on the electric MC credit. It shows no sign of being renewed.

I'm really worried about your vision Coss, what you see as crap are actually white plastic wrap protection/covering an obviously red SOLO!:pound:
They don't unwrap them for the customer?? What a rip.
And the ones in that video did not have the center light, I went back and watched it.
