A lot of what's written about EV charger rebates online is already out of date. Here's the current status, updated July 2026.
The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (Section 30C) covered 30% of the cost of a home EV charger and its installation, up to $1,000, for qualifying properties. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act had extended it through 2032 — but the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed in July 2025, moved the residential deadline up to June 30, 2026. There is no extension currently pending.
If your charger was placed in service on or before June 30, 2026, you can still claim the credit on that tax year's return using IRS Form 8911. If you're installing after that date, there is currently no federal credit available for a home Level 2 charger — plan your budget accordingly rather than around an expired incentive you may have seen quoted elsewhere.
Florida Power & Light's EVolution Home program isn't a rebate — it's a service. FPL installs and maintains a Level 2 charger in an eligible home's garage with no upfront hardware cost, in exchange for a flat monthly fee (roughly $31–$38) plus discounted off-peak charging rates during nights, weekends, and holidays. A new "Flexible" version of the program, with pricing that better reflects actual charging patterns, is rolling out in summer 2026.
The tradeoff: you don't own the charger, and you're on FPL's equipment and service terms rather than choosing your own hardware. For homeowners who want to own their charger outright — or who want a specific brand, like a Tesla wall connector — an independently installed charger is still the better fit; see EV charger installation for current pricing.
