There's other tricks such as converting IRA contributions to Roth IRA to artificially boost tax liability and get the full $7,500. How many people have convertible IRAs though, and of those, who are savvy enough to know to do that?
I read somewhere that a single person making $60k generally has at least $7,500 in federal tax liability.
I'd imagine most people purchasing a brand new Prius Prime are at least in that income category.

Taking just the standard deductions:
A single person making $64,500 would pay $7490 in Federal Income tax.
A couple making $89,500 would pay $7,479
A family of 3 making $104,000 would pay $7,479
A family of 4 making $113,000 would pay $7,459
If the family of 4 made $64,500 they would only get $479 from the tax credit.
