Rhode Island EV Charger Rebates & Incentives

Every home EV charger rebate available to Rhode Island drivers in 2026.

⚠️

Federal 30C Credit — Expired

The federal Alternative Fuel Refueling Property Credit (30% of cost up to $1,000 for a home charger) expired June 30, 2026. Chargers installed after that date no longer qualify, and the credit had only ever applied to homes in eligible low-income or non-urban census tracts.

  • Rhode Island utility rebates and EV charging rates (below) still apply
  • ✅ Home charging still saves far more than gas or public charging
  • ✕ No 30C federal credit for chargers placed in service after June 30, 2026
Up to $500
