Yes, states and utilities frequently offer both tax credits and rebates for EV chargers, often layered with federal incentives like the 30% Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit (AFITC). Here’s how these programs work together:
Key Programs
- Mohave Charged (specific utility example): Offers rebates up to $2,750 per commercial charger and $1,000 for residential installations. While this program itself is rebate-focused, users can combine it with the federal AFITC (30% credit up to $100,000) for substantial savings.
- Federal + State Overlap: The AFITC applies nationwide, and many state/utility rebates (e.g., those listed on ChargeLab’s rebate finder) complement it.
- Regional Variations: Over 70% of the U.S. has EV charger rebates or incentives at state/local levels. Examples include California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project and New York’s Charge Ready NY, though tax credit availability varies by state.
How to Find Them
Use ChargeLab’s rebate finder to search by ZIP code, charger type, and user role (residential/commercial). Most states with rebates also allow pairing with federal tax credits. Always confirm with local utility programs, like Mohave Charged, which explicitly supports rebates alongside federal credits.
