Programs and Incentives
Federal, State and local incentives are available on revolving timeline with specific project requirements. 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.

GOEVIN: Closing the Gap Tour
GOEVIN (Go Electric Vehicle Indiana) and Drive Clean Indiana are excited to launch the GOEVIN: Closing the Gap Tour — a multi-stop roadshow dedicated to building awareness and support for expanding electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Indiana.
In June 2025, the GOEVIN: Closing the Gap Tour will visit eight cities across the state, including Evansville, Clarksville, Indianapolis, Muncie, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, and Hammond. These free events will feature a presentation and Q&A session to encourage local leaders, fleet operators, businesses, and residents to help “close the gap” in charging access and empower longer EV travel throughout Indiana.
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
You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV).
To qualify, a vehicle must:
- Have a battery capacity of at least 7 kilowatt hours
- Have a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000 pounds
- Be made by a qualified manufacturer. See our index of qualified manufacturers and vehicles.
- 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.
In addition, the vehicle's manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) can't exceed:
- $80,000 for vans, sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks
- $55,000 for other vehicles
For more information on Tax Credits for New Clean Vehicles purchased in 2023 or after please see the IRS Website.

The tax credit amount is equal to the lesser of the following amounts:
- 15% of the vehicle purchase price for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
- 30% of the vehicle purchase price for EVs and FCEVs
- The incremental cost of the vehicle compared to an equivalent internal combustion engine vehicle
Maximum tax credits may not exceed $7,500 for vehicles under 14,000 lbs. and $40,000 for vehicles above 14,000 lbs. Businesses may not combine this tax credit with the Clean Vehicle Tax Credit.
