The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit rewards homeowners who install EV charging infrastructure — here's exactly what it covers.
A standard 120V outlet (Level 1) adds roughly 4 miles of range per hour of charging. A Level 2 240V charger adds 25–35 miles per hour — giving most EVs a full charge overnight. The 30C credit only applies to Level 2 or DC fast-charge installations.
If your electrical panel needs an upgrade to support a Level 2 charger, a portion of those costs may be included in the 30C credit calculation. Document all costs with your licensed electrician.
Most utilities offer Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing with off-peak overnight rates as low as $0.06/kWh. Combined with a smart Level 2 charger that auto-schedules overnight charging, you can minimize your annual EV fueling cost to under $400.
No technician visit. No lengthy forms. HomeShark does the work of a $500 professional audit in under two minutes.

"I had no idea I qualified for a $6,600 solar credit plus another $2,500 from Austin Energy. HomeShark took 2 minutes and I'll save $187 every month."

The credit covers 30% of the combined equipment and installation cost of a Level 2 EV charger (240V), up to a $1,000 cap for residential installations.
Starting in 2023, the credit applies to chargers in low-income communities or non-urban (rural) census tracts. HomeShark checks your specific address against IRS eligibility criteria automatically.
Yes — the 30C and 25D credits are completely separate and can be claimed in the same tax year. Many homeowners install solar and an EV charger simultaneously for maximum benefit.
Any UL-listed Level 2 EV charging station qualifies — including brands like ChargePoint, Enel X JuiceBox, Emporia, and Wallbox. The specific vehicle you drive doesn't affect eligibility.
Public charging averages $0.28–$0.35/kWh. Home charging on a Time-of-Use rate averages $0.08–$0.14/kWh. For an average EV driving 12,000 miles/year, that's $800–$1,400 in annual savings.
