How Much is the Federal Tax Credit for Residential Ev Charging Equipment in 2026?

For 2026, the Federal 30C Tax Credit allows residential customers to claim 30% of the installation costs, up to $1,000, for a single EV charger. This credit is claimed on your federal return using IRS Form 8911 and applies to both the equipment and the labor costs when you utilize a licensed electrician for the project.

It is important to note that this specific tax credit is currently scheduled to expire in June 2026. Because the credit is non-refundable and requires the installation to be completed before the deadline, timely action is critical to capture these savings.

We provide all the necessary paperwork (IRS Form 8911) upon completion of your service to help you secure this credit. Our fully trained technicians ensure that every EV Charger Installation meets or exceeds electrical codes and industry standards, which is a requirement for eligibility.

While this federal incentive offers significant savings, it can often be combined with local utility programs, such as:

• LADWP Residential EV Charger Rebate: Offers up to $500 for Level 2 chargers.
• SCE Residential Charger Rebate: Provides up to $250 for qualified installations.

Please note that results may vary based on individual circumstances and building conditions, and we recommend consulting with a tax professional regarding your specific filing.
