If you've been planning to install an EV charger at home or for your business, it's time to act fast.
Originally extended through 2032 under the Inflation Reduction Act, the federal EV charger tax credit is now set to expire on June 30, 2026 due to changes made by recently passed tax policies. Under the credit, homeowners can get 30% back (up to $1,000) for EV charger hardware and installation - additionally, businesses can claim up to $100,000 per charger, provided labor and construction rules are met.
This comes at a time during which the current administration has reversed course on several established clean energy incentives. Federal funding for public EV chargers has been entirely frozen, and national goals for clean, sustainable energy are uncertain.
However, despite federal rollbacks, car companies are pushing forward, likely expecting another EV push in the future. Additionally, many states offer additional EV charger rebates or credits and plan to continue - use the U.S. Department of Energy's incentive finder to check what's available for you.
