How does the federal 30C tax credit work for EV chargers?

The 30C Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit gives businesses up to $100,000 per charging port — 6% of qualified costs, or 30% if prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met — for chargers installed in eligible census tracts. Homeowners can claim 30% up to $1,000 per port. It's claimed on your federal tax return; eligibility mapping by census tract is the first step.

Who applies for the incentives — the owner or the contractor?

Formally the applicant is usually the site owner, but in practice the contractor determines whether you qualify: equipment must match program eligibility lists, applications often must precede construction, and payout requires commissioning documentation. Faith Energy handles incentive sequencing and paperwork as part of design-build delivery.

Maryland EV Incentive

The Part Everyone Underestimates

Incentives are won or lost in the paperwork.

Most charging incentives have equipment eligibility lists, network requirements, deadlines, and post-installation reporting — and many pay out only if the application went in before construction. Faith Energy bakes incentive capture into design-build delivery: we match hardware to program eligibility lists, sequence applications correctly, and hand you the documentation each program demands.
