Biden Administration Proposes Expanded Tax Credits for EV Chargers
New Treasury rule aims to boost EV adoption by offering significant tax incentives for installing charging infrastructure.
- The proposed rule would provide tax credits up to $1,000 for individuals and $100,000 for businesses for each EV charger installed.
- The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and 2021 infrastructure law aim to expand EV charging access, with a goal of 500,000 public chargers by 2030.
- The new rule clarifies that tax credits apply to individual charging ports, not just multi-port installations, enhancing credit eligibility.
- Advocates say the expanded credits could accelerate the transition to electric vehicles, reduce transportation emissions, and create jobs.
- The proposed rule will be open for public comment until mid-November, with a potential public hearing if requested.
