If your tax obligation is less than $7500, you can only claim the amount of your tax obligation. However, there is a possibility that the car manufacturers will price the vehicles higher because they are aware of the tax credit you will receive.

The tax credit is a refundable credit, so you would get it all. The credit starting in 2024 will be applied directly at the dealer and will come off the bottom line. Manufacturers can't price the cars much higher, they are already close to the allowed price ceilings.
