Nice I was just doing my taxes and was wondering about this =)

Just FYI I was able to get the electric tax credit when I did my taxes.  It took a little bit for Turbo Tax to update because the new law passed very recently.  I go about $400 credit =)

The U.S. Congress has (or will later this week) passed a law making the purchase of electric motorcycles and certain home charging equipment subject to a 10% tax credit of their cost during the years 2018 to 2020. This can be a decent amount of money. When I purchased my 2018 Zero in 2017, I received a check from the U.S. Treasury in the amount of $1,830.

So far, I have received a 10% tax credit (or rebate, if you prefer) for each of the five electric motorcycles that I have purchased during the past 10 years. (In addition to the $900 cash rebate from the state of California. Unfortunately, that rebate has recently been revised so that it only applies to one electric motorcycle purchase during a person's lifetime.)   

Here is a link to the article announcing this change in the current tax law authorizing the credit:
