$7500 EV lease rebate - still qualify with higher income?

Absolutely! Check out the spreadsheet below. The payments are nearly equal with an MF = .00108. Try using MF = .00001 and it’s much better to residualize the EV credit. So, for this scenario, MF = .00108 is the breakeven. Anything below it favors residualizing the EV credit. Anything greater, favors using it as a CCR assuming the other variables (e.g., sales tax rate) remain the same.
