Programs and Incentives

Indiana’s electric utilities offer a variety of incentives to encourage residential, commercial, public and multi-unit customers to adopt EVs and deploy EVSE. Such incentives can include time-of-use (TOU) rates, rebates, grants, loans, and support services to increase EV adoption. These incentives are focused on increasing customer engagement, lowering upfront capital costs and promoting sustainable load growth. Click your local utility link below or contact your utility for more information on available programs.

Charging the Crossroads is the Indiana Department of Transportation’s plan to invest nearly $100 million to build a network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at strategic locations along Indiana’s federally-designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs). Federally funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, Charging the Crossroads will result in the installation of Level 3 DC Fast Charging stations every 50 miles and within one mile of interchanges and intersections.  To learn more about candidate charging station sites and expected timelines visit the INDOT website.

Federal Clean Vehicle Incentives

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-169), which amends the Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit (IRC 30D), now known as the Clean Vehicle Credit, and adds a new requirement for final assembly in North America that takes effect on August 16, 2022.

Credits for New EVs Purchased in 2022 or Before

If you bought a new, qualified plug-in EV in 2022 or before, you may be eligible for a clean vehicle tax credit up to $7,500 under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D. The credit equals:

  • $2,917 for a vehicle with a battery capacity of at least 5 kilowatt hours (kWh)
  • Plus $417 for each kWh of capacity over 5 kWh

The maximum credit is $7,500. It is non-refundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years. For additional information on Tax Credits for eligible EVs purchased in 2022 and before please see the IRS Website.

Credits for New Clean Vehicles Purchased in 2023 or After

    • FCEVs do not need to be made by a qualified manufacturer to be eligible. See Rev. Proc. 2022-42 for more detailed guidance.
  • Undergo final assembly in North America

The sale qualifies only if:

  • You buy the vehicle new
  • The seller reports required information to you at the time of sale and to the IRS.
    • Sellers are required to report your name and taxpayer identification number to the IRS for you to be eligible to claim the credit.
