The federal EV charger tax credit has ended — here's what to know
The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (Section 30C) covered 30% of a qualified home EV charger and its installation — up to $1,000. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (signed July 2025) terminated it for equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026, cutting the original 2032 sunset short. If your charger was installed and operational by the deadline, you can still claim the credit on IRS Form 8911 with your 2026 tax return.
- 30% of cost — for chargers placed in service by June 30, 2026
- Up to $1,000 — claim on IRS Form 8911 with your 2026 return
- Ended for new installs — no extension is currently in law
- Eligible ZIP areas — low-income and non-urban census tracts

Utility rebates on home EV chargers

How to claim what's still available
Installed by June 30, 2026? Claim the federal credit
If your charger was placed in service by June 30, 2026 at a U.S. residence in an eligible census tract, file IRS Form 8911 with your 2026 return — 30% back, up to $1,000.
Keep all receipts and documentation
Save your charger receipt, electrician invoice, permit, and any rebate confirmations. You'll need them for state and utility programs — and for the federal credit if you beat the deadline.
Apply for your utility rebate quickly
Utility rebates commonly pay $200–$500+ per charger, and application windows of 30–90 days after installation are common. Apply right after install — funds are often first-come, first-served.
Apply for state and utility rebates separately
Each state and utility has its own application process — usually a short online form. Most pay out within 4-8 weeks of charger installation.
EV charger rebate FAQ
Is the EV charger tax credit still available?
Not for new installations — the federal Section 30C credit expired June 30, 2026. If your charger was installed and operational by the deadline, you can still claim 30% of cost (up to $1,000) by filing IRS Form 8911 with your 2026 tax return.
Is there a tax credit for installing an EV charger?
The federal credit (Section 30C) ended June 30, 2026 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — chargers placed in service after that date no longer qualify. What still pays: state and utility rebates of $200–$2,500, plus off-peak electricity rates. Use the ZIP checker above to see live programs for your address.
I installed my charger before June 30, 2026 — can I still claim the credit?
Yes. If the charger was installed and operational by the deadline at a residence in an eligible census tract (low-income or non-urban), file IRS Form 8911 with your 2026 return. Keep your receipts, electrician invoice, and permit — and verify the tract with the IRS 30C Eligibility Locator.
Can I combine state and utility rebates?
Yes. State-level rebates and utility programs can typically be stacked with each other. Pre-deadline installs can generally add the federal Section 30C credit on top. Most EVIQO customers combine programs for $500–$1,600 in total savings.
How long do rebates take to receive?
State and utility rebates typically pay out within 4–8 weeks of charger installation, depending on the program. Watch the application window — many utilities require claims within 30–90 days of install.
Do EVIQO chargers qualify for rebates?
Yes. EVIQO Level 2 chargers meet all federal, state, and utility program requirements for residential EV charging equipment. They are UL-listed and Energy Star qualified.
