EV Charging Infrastructure Tax Credits

Under the Inflation Reduction Act, the following federal tax credits are applied for residential (homeowner) and commercial electric vehicle infrastructure and equipment (EVSE). These credits apply to the construction, installation, electric upgrades and cost of all hardware and equipment needed for charging stations.

Residential Homeowner EVSE Credit

This credit applies to both installation and the cost of the hardware and equipment in your home.

** 30% of cost, up to $1,000 for a charging station **

Commercial EVSE Credit

30% of cost, up to $100,000 + 20% of cost above $100,000 for each charging station installation in eligible locations*
