This guidance was made available on December 29th, 2022, and relevant links to the EV purchase specifics are posted in the Useful Links section below.
Additionally, there is a new IRS Page of Frequently Asked Questions for New, Previously-Owned, and Qualified Commercial Clean Vehicle Credits here, also published in late December 2022:

We are aware of the proposed legislation by Senator Manchin taking aim at the delay in the IRS Guidance being issued for the battery mineral sourcing portions of the IRA. We do not expect this bill to pass but will continue to watch it and update as needed. For more information on Sen.

The IRS has released some clarification on which EVs are SUVs ($80,000 MSRP limit) versus Cars ($55,000 MSRP limit). Previously, it was difficult to understand if you would receive the EV ITC or not unless you looked up the exact vehicle. The most impacted EVs by this clarification will be the Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Cadillac Lyriq, and VW ID.4 - all versions of each of these are now in the $80,000 MSRP/SUV category.
