(c) Qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling
property
For purposes of this section—
(1) In general
The term ‘‘qualified alternative fuel vehicle
refueling property’’ has the same meaning as
the term ‘‘qualified clean-fuel vehicle refuel-
ing property’’ would have under section 179A
if—

determined without regard to any ker-
osene in such mixture.
(iii) Electricity.
(iv) Any transportation fuel (as defined
in section 45Z(d)(5)).
(2) Bidirectional charging equipment
Property shall not fail to be treated as

motor vehicle propelled by electricity, and
(B) allows discharging electricity from
such battery to an electric load external to
such motor vehicle.
(3) Property required to be located in eligible
census tracts

fined by the Bureau of the Census) which,
according to the most recent decennial
census, has been designated as an urban

business credit
So much of the credit which would be al-
lowed under subsection (a) for any taxable
year (determined without regard to this sub-
section) that is attributable to property of a
character subject to an allowance for deprecia-
tion shall be treated as a credit listed in sec-

(after the application of paragraph (1)) for any

able year.
(e) Special rules
For purposes of this section—

For purposes of this subtitle, the basis of
any property for which a credit is allowable
under subsection (a) shall be reduced by the
amount of such credit so allowed (determined
without regard to subsection (d)).
(2) Property used by tax-exempt entity
In the case of any qualified alternative fuel
vehicle refueling property the use of which is
described in paragraph (3) or (4) of section
50(b) and which is not subject to a lease, the
person who sold such property to the person or
entity using such property shall be treated as
the taxpayer that placed such property in
service, but only if such person clearly dis-
closes to such person or entity in a document
the amount of any credit allowable under sub-
section (a) with respect to such property (de-
termined without regard to subsection (d)).
For purposes of subsection (d), property to
