Deadline: June 30, 2026
Federal 30C EV Charging Tax Credit. Up to $100K per item — expires June 30, 2026.
Section 30C pays up to 30% of installation cost (capped at $100K per item of qualified property) for commercial EV chargers placed in service before June 30, 2026. Miss the date and you forfeit the entire credit on that unit. Time matters.

secondsEligibility checklist
- Property is owned by a U.S. taxpayer (commercial entity, LLC, C-corp, S-corp, partnership, or sole proprietor).
- Charger is depreciable under §168 (i.e., placed at a commercial or business site, not a personal residence).
- Equipment is placed in service after December 31, 2022 and before June 30, 2026.
- For the full 30% bonus rate: site is in an IRS-qualifying low-income or non-urban census tract, AND prevailing wage + apprenticeship requirements are met during installation.
- Site outside qualifying tracts gets the base 6% rate (still capped at $100,000 per item).

30C Tax Credit FAQ
Census tracts, prevailing wage, stacking, and the placed-in-service rule.
What is the Federal 30C alternative fuel infrastructure tax credit?+
Section 30C of the Internal Revenue Code provides a tax credit for installing qualified alternative fuel refueling property — including EV chargers. For commercial property placed in service after January 1, 2023, the credit is up to 30% of cost, capped at $100,000 per item, when prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met.
Does my Georgia property qualify for the full 30% bonus rate?+
The full 30% rate is only available in IRS-designated qualifying census tracts (low-income or non-urban). Most of metro Atlanta and most rural Georgia counties qualify. Properties outside qualifying tracts get the base 6% rate. PermitEV's free incentive calculator checks your specific address against the IRS map.
What does 'placed in service' actually mean?+
The IRS treats 'placed in service' as the date the charger is installed, energized, commissioned, and available for use. A unit sitting on a pallet on June 29 does NOT count. To safely claim the 2026 credit, the install needs to be complete by mid-June at the latest, which is why permit and engineering bottlenecks matter.
How does 30C interact with the Georgia Power rebate?+
The Federal 30C credit is calculated on net cost after state and utility rebates. So if a Level 2 charger costs $6,000 and Georgia Power rebates $1,925, the 30C credit applies to the $4,075 net cost. Stacking is fully allowed and is the highest-value financial path.
What's the realistic timeline to get installed before June 30, 2026?+
Working backward from a June 30, 2026 deadline: commissioning takes about 1 week, electrical install takes 1–3 weeks, AHJ permit review takes 2–4 weeks, and engineering takes the rest. To safely make the deadline, your engineering should be ordered no later than late February 2026. PermitEV ships engineering in 24–72 hours specifically to compress this timeline.
