WASHINGTON (Reuters) – General Motors Co expects certain types of electric vehicles (EVs) to be eligible for a $7,500 tax credit after tighter Treasury Department guidance goes into effect on April 18, the American automaker said on Friday.

GM also currently receives a $7,500 tax credit for the Chevrolet Bolt and is eligible for $7,500 for the upcoming Chevrolet Silverado 2024 model. GM said it expects its Bolt vehicles to be eligible for some level of credit once the rules go into effect.

Vehicles that do not qualify for the consumption tax credit may be eligible for the clean commercial tax credit, including when renting. GM says customers of its Chevrolet Silverado EV fleet will benefit from a $7,500 commercial incentive.
