Federal program

30% of your hardware + installation cost, up to $1,000 per charging port, claimed on IRS Form 8911. Important: only homes in an eligible (non-urban or low-income) census tract qualify, and — under the July 2025 federal law — the charger must be placed in service on or before June 30, 2026. Installs after that date no longer qualify.
