Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Tax Credit

Expired: 01/01/2009
Prior to January 1, 2009, Oklahoma provides a one-time income tax credit for 50% of the cost of converting a vehicle to operate on an alternative fuel, or for 50% of the incremental cost of a new OEM AFV. The state also provides a tax credit for 10% of the total vehicle cost, up to $1,500, when an AFV is resold, as long as a tax credit has not been previously taken on the vehicle. Additionally, the state provides a tax credit for up to 50% of the cost of installing refueling infrastructure for AFVs. These tax credits may be carried forward for up to three years. The alternative fuels eligible for the credit include compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ethanol, methanol, and electricity. This tax credit extends to low-speed electric vehicles as defined by NHTSA in 49 C.F.R. 571.500 and to forklifts and other similar self-propelled vehicles. (Reference Oklahoma Statutes Section 68-2357.22)
