Why is my private party sale eligible for the used EV tax credit with Caramel?

Typically, private party vehicles sales do not qualify for the used ev tax credit.  When you buy through Caramel, we operate as a licensed dealer.   So your sale is no longer technically a private party sale.

That means a purchase that otherwise would qualify based on the vehicle and buyer now becomes eligible.  To complete your transaction, Caramel buys your vehicle from the seller and sells it as a vehicle dealer to you.
