Not any longer, as of very recently. The federal home charger credit (Section 30C) covered 30% of purchase and installation costs, up to $1,000, but required the charger to be placed in service by June 30, 2026, a deadline that has now passed.
If you installed and activated your charger on or before that date, you may still be able to claim the credit on your taxes for that year. If you’re installing after that date, the federal credit is no longer available, but:
- Some utilities offer their own charger rebates or discounted installation programs
- A handful of states have their own home-charging incentive programs
- Some utilities offer reduced electricity rates for EV owners regardless of charger incentives
