EV charging incentives across 51 states

NEVI round status, state grant programs, utility make-ready incentives, and charging-equipment tax rules for every covered state — researched from primary sources (AFDC, state DOT and energy-office pages, utility program pages) as of 2026-07. Each entry links its source. Statuses are reported, not promised: program windows open and close quickly.

Federal, first

30C charging tax credit
The 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit terminated for property placed in service after June 30, 2026 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act, July 2025). Property 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.
NEVI formula program
NEVI formula funding was reinstated nationwide by a January 2026 court order after the 2025 pause; the FY2026 apportionment is $885M and states are reopening funding rounds through 2026. NEVI funds flow to site developers through state DOT solicitations — the state rows below carry each program's current posture.

Connecticut

NEVI status · awarded

Connecticut NEVI Program — CTDOT. Connecticut's NEVI corridor deployment runs through CTDOT. A specific award is a grant-shaped input for a site that wins one; NEVI-funded sites are excluded from the state utility program's DCFC funding.

State programs

  • CT EV Charging Program (PURA Docket 17-12-03RE04) openPURA, administered by Eversource and United Illuminating. Nine-year statewide program through 2030: for DC fast charging, make-ready utility investment up to 100% of infrastructure cost plus an upfront rebate up to 50% of charger purchase cost, capped per site at $150,000 baseline / $250,000 in underserved communities (2022-2024 cycle values; current-cycle caps not confirmed). The program manual requires dual-port CCS and/or CHAdeMO connectors with utility data access - whether a NACS-native Supercharger configuration qualifies is an open eligibility question.

Utility programs

  • Eversource CT: Rate EV-L (load-factor-priced EV charging service) activeRate relief rather than a rebate: delivery demand priced by monthly load factor across eight tiers - $0 per kVA in the lowest tier, rising to standard-schedule levels above 35% load factor, with per-kWh adders moving in the opposite direction. This is the modeled Connecticut rate.

  • National Grid (upstate NY): EV Phase-In Rate (Case 22-E-0236) activeRate relief rather than a rebate: four demand-charge tiers assigned by annual load factor (Tier 1 bills $0 demand at or below 10% load factor), with forgiven demand revenue recovered through time-of-use energy adders, re-evaluated semiannually with exit at 25% load factor. A structure the model discloses rather than expresses - the modeled cost is the standard SC-3 schedule.

Tax treatment

  • Sales tax on driver-side charging revenue. New York treats EV-charging receipts as taxable sales of electricity (TSB-A-13(18)S): the operator registers as a vendor and collects the site's combined rate on every driver kWh. Under tax-exclusive pricing this is a pass-through and revenue inputs are unchanged; the model states that assumption. No per-kWh charging excise exists, and New York levies no tax on tangible business personal property (RPTL 300).

  • AEP Ohio: Commercial EVSE Charging Incentive Program inactiveIncentives toward hardware, network services, and installation for Level 2 and DC fast charging at workplaces, government facilities, multifamily, and other publicly available sites (capped at roughly 300 L2 and 75 DCFC stations), with greater incentives in income-eligible census tracts. AFDC no longer lists this as an active incentive, indicating the capped program is closed or fully subscribed.

Tax treatment

  • Commercial Activity Tax (CAT). Ohio levies the CAT, a gross-receipts tax on business receipts sourced to Ohio; recent law raised the exclusion threshold (about $6M of gross receipts excluded from 2025 onward), so many smaller operators owe no CAT. Charging revenue counts as taxable gross receipts above the threshold.
  • EV registration fee. Ohio charges an added annual fuel-type registration fee of $200 for all-electric vehicles and $150 for plug-in hybrids, on top of standard registration fees.
  • Per-kWh charging tax. No state per-kWh public charging excise tax identified.

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.
