EV charger rebate FAQ
How do I claim the EV charger tax credit?
To claim the federal EV charger tax credit (Section 30C), install a qualifying Level 2 home charger, keep your receipt and installation invoice, then file IRS Form 8911 with your tax return. The credit covers 30% of cost up to $1,000.
Is there a tax credit for installing an EV charger?
Yes. The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (Section 30C) provides a federal tax credit of 30% of the cost of a qualified home EV charger and installation, capped at $1,000. Important: the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (signed July 2025) accelerated the deadline — equipment must now be placed in service by June 30, 2026 to qualify. After that date, the credit drops to $0.
Does my home EV charger qualify for the federal tax credit?

The federal tax credit reduces your tax bill when you file annually. State and utility rebates typically pay out within 4-8 weeks of charger installation, depending on the program.
