The federal commercial clean vehicle credit that lenders passed through as up to $7,500 off an EV lease ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025 under Public Law 119-21 (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act), per the IRS. As of September 2026 there is no federal lease credit, no Arizona statewide EV rebate, and no Nevada statewide EV rebate. What remains is manufacturer lease cash and utility programs.

What ended, and when.

Section 45W, the credit a lessor could claim on a leased EV and pass to the lessee, terminated for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025 (IRS, Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit page, 2026). Vehicles with a binding written contract and a payment made on or before that date could still qualify when delivered later; that window is closed for any lease signed in 2026. The federal 30C credit for home charger installation expired on June 30, 2026 (Alternative Fuels Data Center, 2026).

What remains in 2026.

How it shows up on The Model Black.

Manufacturer lease cash is applied inside the lease program, so an EQE or EQS lease payment on the vehicle page already reflects it; there is no separate line to claim. Utility rebates are yours to claim after delivery; your utility lists them on its website, and the Concierge can point you to them.

This page is reviewed quarterly. If a program on this table has changed, the date at the top tells you when it was last checked.

The dealer publishes its savings and price on an electric model like any other; The Model Black applies the program and shows the payment. Everything is priced for you up front.
