When does the Section 30C EV charging tax credit expire?

The Section 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit expires for equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026.

How much is the Section 30C tax credit worth?

The credit covers 30% of eligible installation costs, capped at $30,000 per commercial property per year and $1,000 for residential properties. Each property you own qualifies separately — a portfolio owner with 5 properties could claim $150,000 in total credits.

What equipment qualifies for the Section 30C credit?

Level 2 chargers, DC fast chargers, wireless inductive charging pads, electrical panel and transformer upgrades, conduit and wiring, installation labor, and payment processing equipment. The full cost of getting chargers operational is eligible — not just charger hardware.

Can I still meet the June 30, 2026 deadline if I start now?

It depends on when you start. Typical installation takes 4–6 months (11–20 weeks minimum). Starting in March–April 2026, an aggressive fast-track process can potentially meet the deadline. Every week of delay reduces the probability. Wins Parking specializes in accelerated installations for tax credit deadlines.

What documentation do I need to claim the Section 30C credit?

Required documentation includes proof of purchase (invoices, receipts), installation documentation (permits, contractor records), equipment specifications and model numbers, electrical capacity assessment reports, photos of installed equipment, and Form 8911 filed with your tax return.
