Mostly, a self assembled vehicle is going to be a quantity of one.

There is also some confusion between a NEV (< 35 MPH) and a LSV (golf cart < 25 MPH). My Urba well exceeds both speed ratings but I seem to fall under the NEV designation for insurance purposes.

I paid plenty of taxes so getting the credit would be great. I have asked the IRS for an interpretation and intent of the tax law before I challenge it in court. I am looking to connect with anyone in the same circumstances.
A perfectly logical position, which, in my experience NEVER works with the government. I won't even belabor you with the futility of expecting the IRS to act in any way that could ever be considered "right". I could write a hundred pages from memory about their omnipotent beaurocracy, but only an insane person would bother to read it.
