WASHINGTON (AP) — Starting Jan. 1, many Americans will qualify for a tax credit of up to $7,500 for buying an electric vehicle.

But a complex web of requirements is casting doubt on whether anyone will be able to receive the full $7,500 credit.

People who buy a used EV can get a smaller tax credit.
