Frequently Asked Questions
Federal 30C credit?
Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property credit: 30% of install cost up to $100,000 per charger (business). Up to $1,000 per residential charger. Business charger limit: $100k per port (Level 2) or $100k per DCFC port (fast charger). Multi-year expansion under IRA: available 2023-2032. Eligible equipment: Level 2 networked, DCFC, hydrogen fueling. Non-networked L2 typically doesn't qualify.

Massachusetts EVSE: $5,000 per L2. Colorado Charge Ahead: $1,500-9,000 per port. Program funding varies year to year — apply early in cycle. Some programs require specific geographic areas or site types.
Stacking math?
4 L2 networked chargers at $7,500 each installed = $30,000 total. Federal 30C: 30% × $30,000 = $9,000 (under $100k cap × 4). State rebate (NJ): 4 × $4,000 = $16,000. Utility make-ready: $25,000 (covers transformer/trenching). Net cost: $30,000 − $9,000 − $16,000 − $25,000 = negative (excess incentive, pockets $20k+). Practice: incentives often exceed installation in aggressive states 2024-2026.
