Regardless of location, there's good news for businesses ready to convert their fleets to electric vehicles and provide state-of-the-art services to their customers and employees: the 2020 federal 30C tax credit has been extended through 2021, providing significant savings on electric vehicle charging.
The 30C credit covers up to 30 percent or $30,000 of the initial cost of purchasing and installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure and equipment for eligible facilities and businesses. Electric vehicle charging infrastructure requires a significant investment, and these federal credits will offset the costs and open the way for more businesses to install charging points for electric vehicle drivers.
In addition, station owners with multiple properties can apply for a loan for each new charging point. Taken together, these federal credits save significant money by helping businesses fully convert their properties and provide valuable and sustainable energy options to the public.
It is impossible to predict whether the 30C tax credit will be extended again in the future. This makes 2021 a critical time to invest in electric vehicles using the best possible incentives.
Once your business has access to federal credits, it's time to explore state and local incentives and EV charging programs that will further reduce initial installation costs. With environmental programs and funding from the Garden State, it's no surprise that electric vehicle charging incentives in New Jersey are some of the most attractive in the country.
As a state closely tied to driving and car culture, New Jersey is at the forefront of electric vehicles and continues to pass laws and incentives to expand infrastructure and ease the transition to electric vehicles. Businesses that convert their fleets to zero-emission vehicles benefit every time they hit the road, from sales tax exemptions on ZEV purchases to fare rebates and credits for replacing trucks with internal combustion engines with clean-fuel alternatives. New Jersey's incentives for electric vehicles also include grants to reduce the cost of electric equipment and discounts for electric vehicle mileage.
The state's flagship It Pay $ to Plug In program is specifically designed to provide grants to install new electric vehicle chargers in public and private parking lots. Eligible local businesses can apply for financing that covers 60-100% of the cost of purchasing and installing electricity. This effectively subsidizes the path to a sustainable future. These incentives apply to Category 2 and advanced DC fast chargers. If these terms are confusing, ENERGY5 can help.
