Purchasing an EV Charging Station in 2021? If so, we have great news for you!
Congress recently passed a retroactive federal tax credit for those who purchased environmentally responsible transportation, including costs for EV charging infrastructure. The tax credit now expires on December 31, 2021.
Receive a federal tax credit of 30% of the cost of purchasing and installing an EV charging station (up to $1,000 for residential installations and up to $30,000 for commercial installations).
Previously, this federal tax credit expired on December 31, 2017, but is now extended through December 31, 2021. The charging station must be purchased and installed by this date to be eligible.

Do Tesla Charging stations and installation qualify for the Federal tax credit (the cars do not)?
Hello Scott,
Thanks for reaching out, we are not aware of any restrictions to the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit that would exclude a level 2 Tesla charging station. We do recommend consulting with a tax professional for any questions related to taking a tax credit before filing.
Are there any income limits which will reduce or do away with these credits? Also, any other loophole which will reduce this credit?
Hello Morpheus,
Great questions! There are no income limitations specified in the tax code, and since we are not tax advisers we recommend consulting with a tax professional to answer all your questions.
I purchased siemens charger for my Ford Fusion Energy, I rent the unit on the building and I pay for extended electric panel and the charger, can I get the rebate for this even I don’t own the building ?
Hi Sergio,
Thank you for contacting us. Are you referring to the Federal Tax Credit that is available? If so, we would recommend consulting with a tax professional regarding your eligibility.
I own a 2014 Chevy Volt, officially classed as a plug-in hybrid, but not a full “EV”. I charge it daily with a Level 1 unit, and get 35 miles of electric-only service before the hybrid operation starts. I would like to purchase a charging station during 2020 and take the tax credit as I fill out my tax forms in early 2021. My question is: Can one take the credit for installation of a charging station if the vehicle being charged is not a full EV, but is a EV-series hybrid vehicle? My assumption is yes, since the IRS Form 8911 does not specify any information related to the vehicle. Thanks for your input.
Hi Eric,
Thank you for contacting us. It is our understanding that the type of EV you purchased, plug-in hybrid or all electric, would not change your eligibility for this credit. The tax credit is for the purchase and installation of the EV charging station regardless of what type of vehicle. We do recommend contacting a tax professional for more details regarding the EVSE tax credit.
I need to extend electric service to my detached garage so I can charge my new EV. Will the tax credit apply if I just install a 240 outlet without a charger, or only if I install a charger in addition to the electrical work?.
Hi Dena,
Thank you for reaching out. We would like to suggest contacting a professional tax consultant in order to answer your question properly.
My question is if I purchased and installed a charging station in 2018 do I have to file an amended 2018 return or include the 8911 form with my 2019 tax return?
Hello Frank, Great question! Thank you for contacting us. We would recommend you contact a tax professional regarding this as they would be able to provide you with the correct course of action.
