USAFederal & state tax credits, rebates and programs by state
Federal EV purchase and home-charger credits have both ended. The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (signed July 4, 2025) repealed the §30D new EV credit and §25E used EV credit effective September 30, 2025, and moved up the §30C home charger credit's expiration to June 30, 2026 — all three are now expired. A new, non-EV-specific auto loan interest deduction remains available through 2028 for US-assembled vehicles. State programs below are unaffected.
New EV Tax Credit (IRA §30D)
ExpiredEXPIRED September 30, 2025. Repealed by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21, signed July 4, 2025). Vehicles acquired on or before September 30, 2025 may still be eligible — consult a tax professional. No new claims available for purchases after that date.
Used EV Tax Credit (IRA §25E)
ExpiredEXPIRED September 30, 2025. Repealed by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. 30% of sale price (max $4,000) was available for used EVs priced ≤ $25,000. Vehicles acquired on or before September 30, 2025 may still qualify. No new claims for later purchases.
Home EV Charger Tax Credit (§30C)
ExpiredEXPIRED June 30, 2026 (deadline moved up from 2032 by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act). Covered 30% of Level 2 charger equipment + installation cost, up to $1,000 per port, for chargers placed in service in an eligible census tract on or before that date. No new claims for chargers installed after June 30, 2026.
New Vehicle Loan Interest Deduction
Active through 2028Not EV-specific, but covers EVs assembled in the US: deduct up to $10,000/year of interest on a loan for a new (not used) personal-use vehicle with final assembly in the United States. Loan must have originated on or after January 1, 2025. Available through tax year 2028. Phases out above $100,000 MAGI (single) / $200,000 (joint) — reduced $200 per $1,000 over the threshold. Available whether or not you itemize (Schedule 1-A). Confirm a specific EV's US-assembly status before counting on this.
Don't forget your utility. Most major electric utilities offer home charger rebates ($100–$700) and time-of-use rates that cut overnight charging costs 30–50%. Search your utility's website for "EV rebate" or "EV rate."
Data reflects Q3 2026 program status. Programs change frequently — verify eligibility and funding before purchasing.
Finding EV incentives in your state
Incentives change constantly, and many of the headline federal credits have now ended: the §30D new-EV and §25E used-EV credits expired on September 30, 2025, and the §30C home-charger credit on June 30, 2026. What remains is a patchwork of state rebates, utility programs and local perks — HOV-lane access, reduced registration fees, discounted off-peak electricity and charger rebates — that can still add up to thousands of dollars.
This tool lists what's currently available in each of the 50 states and DC, flags programs whose funding is exhausted or paused, and links to the official application pages. Because programs open and close without much notice, always confirm on the official site before you count on a rebate.
Frequently asked questions
Is the $7,500 federal EV tax credit still available?
No. The §30D credit for new EVs ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, along with the §25E used-EV credit. Some states have introduced their own programs in its place.
Can I combine a state rebate with a utility rebate?
Usually yes — state, utility and local programs are generally independent of each other. Each has its own eligibility rules, so read them carefully.
How current is this list?
It's reviewed with each app release and fact-checked against official program pages, but funding can run out mid-year. Treat it as a starting point and verify before you buy.
