skimmed your post, so forgive me if you told us, but what State are you in?

and you are stretching meeting the term "Manufacturer" you do not make EV parts, you are just going to do an R&R ie Remove and Replace

sorry not being rude, just I wouldn't allow the Feds to slow up or or dictate your course of action

thanks for the additional info, I was just hoping and praying you were not in California, I know we are talking about Federal tax credit, but even if you qualified for that here in this dreaded state of regulations on top of regulations you still might not be able to get it on the road, ha ha

So I think if anything Factory Five may qualify for such a Fed Tax credit and still not you, though I wonder if they have to meet some sort of output like 50 cars per year, you know the Feds they always get you somehow, but I don't know all my Fed level battles have been lost ha ha, so I wish you luck and keep us updated

Yah, I'm glad i'm not in California for this project. I've already got one car stuck in their bureaucracy and I don't even live there anymore. I let the registration expire on a car in storage and the DMV deleted the electronic records. It is a mess trying to get a new copy of the title. I'm thinking I may be best off "abandoning" the car at a family member's house and going through the process of claiming abandoned goods.

Truth be told, Factory Five being the manufacturer would actually be a good thing. This is the credit the buyer gets when they buy a production electric vehicle. If Factory Five qualifies, then it all still works out... assuming they are willing and the fed doesn't just say no.

If you are serious I can help you get the vehicle registered all legally and above board, I was reluctant to use this company but my law officer friend convinced me to do it and they helped me register two trucks for me now one a 1971 GMC truck which the idiots at DMV would not register in my name because I said I bought it from a guy and his wife both first initials were "A" well in fact it was registered to the guy and his son who's first initials were also A

the second truck was from Nevada a 1954 truck and this company also registered it in a split second cause the owner of said company owns a 1953 truck and was willing to help out

so email me for their info muszyngr at yahoo dot com again its all legal they are a partner of DMV but work as a third party and can even come out to you to inspect the VINs instead of you having to tow your car to them or the CHP
