If you would have leased the Bolt you could have got the full $7500 because with a lease the leasing company owns the vehicle not the person leasing the vehicle. When leasing the customer's income has zero effect on the tax credit.

Starting in 2024 you can transfer the credit to the dealer and they are required by law to apply the full rebate to the purchase price as a point of sale rebate.
