The Kia EV9 will enter US production in May, could get full tax credit in 2025

The Kia EV9 is already on sale in the US but units are shipped over from South Korea. That's about to change as soon as Kia and Hyundai's Metaplant in West Point, Georgia starts production this May.

This will make the EV9 eligible for at least part of the $7,500 tax credit because the EV will be assembled in the US.

The potential issue stopping the Kia EV9 from getting the full tax credit is the fact that its battery is produced with battery materials, sourced from a "country of concern" - China. The battery itself must also be produced in the US in order to quality for the full tax credit.

Still, Kia will add an EV battery facility to the Georgia plant in 2025, at which point it's confident the EV9 will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. That would make the EV9 a potential $49,000 car and hugely competitive in the US car market.

However, the upcoming potential US presidential changes could disrupt Kia's hopes. The company says it's monitoring government updates before it can fully confirm anything about the possibility of getting the tax credit.
