Types of Incentives for Charger Installation

Primarily, residential incentives are tailored for electric vehicle charging station installation at home. In most cases, you would be asked to present the permit. To qualify, it's essential that a certified electrician handles the installation.

Diverse EV Charger Incentives: What's on Offer?

Most incentives come in the form of rebates, provided by state and local governments, as well as utility companies. These rebates can encompass everything from equipment costs to installation fees. Depending on the specific program, applications might be needed either before or after your Level 2 charger is set up.

Some utility companies also extend rebates and reduced rates for users who opt to charge their EVs during off-peak hours, typically overnight.

Value of EV Charger Rebates

The rebate value varies based on the program. They can either be a fixed amount or a percentage of the installation and equipment costs. Generally, single charger rebates range from $75 to $2,500.

Federal Incentives for EV Chargers

The primary federal incentive is the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit. If you purchase a qualified EV home charger after January 1, 2023, you're eligible for a tax credit of up to $1,000. This initiative makes it even more appealing for homeowners to transition to electric vehicles and ensure they have the right infrastructure in place.
