How to Stack Incentives in 2026

With federal purchase credits gone, the winning strategy is layering everything else. Here's the order to work through:

1
State Purchase Rebate or Credit
Your state's direct EV incentive — rebate at dealership or tax credit on filing. The biggest lever available in 2026.
Up to $9,000
2
Utility Company Rebates
Most utilities offer EV purchase or charger installation rebates. Stackable with state programs — most buyers miss this.
$200–$1,500
3
Federal Home Charger Credit (Expired)
Section 30C expired June 30, 2026. If your charger was installed on or before that date, you can still claim it on your 2026 return via Form 8911 — new installations no longer qualify.
Expired 6/30/26
4
OBBBA Loan Interest Deduction
Federal deduction on auto loan interest for new American-made EVs, through 2028. No itemizing needed, but it phases out above $100K MAGI ($200K joint) and is gone at $150K ($250K joint).
Up to $10,000/yr
