Incentives for the Installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Many state governments are providing incentives for the installation of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), also known as an electric vehicle charging station. The most common type of incentive is a state tax credit, but there are also states that give rebates, grants, tax exemptions, and loans to those installing EVSE. The incentives can apply to businesses, local governments, educational institutions, and more. Each state has specific provisions for the amount of incentive and the qualification for their incentives; a short summary of these is provided in the table below. In addition to the state incentives, the Federal government also provides funding for public airports to install or modify fueling infrastructure to support zero emission vehicles.
