current federal rule

Federal 30C is not auto-applied

For personal-use property, the federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit does not apply to property placed in service after June 30, 2026. The current September 2026 CalcuRiver build therefore applies $0 by default rather than showing an expired incentive.

IRS Section 30C guidance.

Full state-level coverage

CalcuRiver now covers all 50 states at the state level. City and utility installation pages are still not created unless local data materially changes the result or serves a distinct search intent.

why this number changes

Why this installation estimate changes

Installation cost is most sensitive to charger equipment, wiring distance, labor, permit requirements, available electrical-service headroom, trenching and any panel or load-management work. Local rebates are counted only when the user confirms them.

Core logic: equipment + labor + wiring + permit + verified site-specific allowances − confirmed rebates.
