On June 1, 2023, United States senators Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania announced that they would introduce the Electric Motorcycle Parity Act in the Senate. If enacted, this legislation would expand available tax credits to riders who purchase qualifying electric motorcycles in the US, with the same qualifications required for four-wheeled electric vehicles that passed into law as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
In the US, electric motorcycle purchases that met certain conditions were previously eligible for tax credits before the 2022 calendar year. Unfortunately for riders, those tax credits expired at the end of 2021. While some individual states have opted to offer tax incentives for electric motorcycle purchases in 2022 and 2023, nothing has existed at the federal level for the past year and a half at the time of writing on June 5, 2023.
