Incentives — questions
- Is the federal 30C charging tax credit still available?
- The 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit terminated for property placed in service after June 30, 2026, under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Equipment placed in service on or before that date may still qualify on a timely filed or amended return — 30% of cost, up to $100,000 per port for businesses, in eligible census tracts.
- What is NEVI and how does a site owner access it?
- The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program routes federal funds through state DOTs, which run competitive solicitations for corridor fast-charging sites. Funding was reinstated nationwide by a January 2026 court order, and the FY2026 apportionment is $885 million. Access is by responding to a state's open round — each state row on this page carries its current posture.
- Why do some entries say 'unverified'?
- Every program listed carries a source URL, and statuses reflect what that source showed at the research date. Where a program's current availability could not be confirmed on a primary page, the status says unverified rather than guessing. Program windows open and close quickly; verify directly with the administering body before counting on funds.
A grant changes the capital stack; the model shows by how much. Run a scenario with and without grant funding and compare payback, NPV, and IRR side by side.
