Available Everywhere

Federal incentives that apply in Minnesota.

Available in every state. The federal 30C credit is claimed on your tax return — eligibility depends on census tract, and for the full 30% commercial rate, on prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.

30C Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit

The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Tax Credit, commonly referred to as the “30C tax credit,” gives qualifying businesses that install electric vehicle (EV) recharging property located within an eligible census tract a tax credit of up to $100,000 per EV charging port. The credit, subject to depreciation, equals 6% of the total qualified costs per port, or 30% for businesses and tax-exempt entities that meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements, with that same $100,000 limit.

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.

Straight Answers

Questions we answer every week.

What EV charging incentives are available in Minnesota?
As of June 2026, there are 18 programs that can offset EV charging costs in Minnesota: 5 commercial, 11 residential — mostly utility rebates and state grants — plus the federal 30C Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit, worth up to $100,000 per commercial charging port. Programs open and close; confirm current status before budgeting.
Does Minnesota offer rebates for commercial EV charging stations?
Yes. 5 commercial programs are currently tracked in Minnesota, including Clearwater-Polk Electric Transportation Rebates, Connexus Energy Workplace & Public EV Charger Rebate. Most are administered by utilities and pay per port or per project, and many require pre-approval before installation begins.
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.
