As electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerates across the U.S., forward-thinking companies are seizing a rare opportunity to cut costs, boost sustainability, and future-proof their operations. The federal Section 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit—one of the most generous incentives for commercial EV infrastructure—remains available, but only for property placed in service by June 30, 2026. Miss that deadline, and the credit disappears.

At Corporate Tax Advisors (CTA), we’re helping businesses across the country capture this credit while it’s still alive. Here’s why your company should act immediately—and how we make the process seamless.

The Section 30C Credit: Real Dollars, Real Impact

For businesses and tax-exempt organizations, the credit equals:

• 6% of qualified depreciable costs (including equipment and installation labor), up to $100,000 per item (each charging port, fuel dispenser, or energy storage unit), OR
• 30% of those costs (up to the same $100,000 cap) if prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) requirements are met.

That means a single Level 2 or DC Fast Charger installation can generate tens or even hundreds of thousands in tax savings—especially when multiple ports are installed at one site. The property must be located in a qualified low-income community or non-urban/rural census tract, a criterion that covers far more locations than many companies realize.

Beyond the direct tax benefit, installing EV chargers delivers powerful business advantages:

• Attract and retain employees and customers who drive EVs
• Meet ESG and corporate sustainability goals
• Reduce long-term energy and fleet costs
• Increase property value and tenant appeal

The Clock Is Ticking—June 30, 2026 Is the Hard Deadline

Recent legislation shortened the original 2032 sunset date to June 30, 2026. Property must be placed in service (fully operational and ready for use) by that date to qualify. Planning, permitting, procurement, and installation all take time. Companies that wait risk losing out entirely.

The good news? There’s still time to move forward in 2026—and reap the rewards on your next tax return.
