Indiana EV Tax Credits, Incentives, and EV Rebates
Major Indiana utilities offer EV charger rebates and lower electricity rates, driving a rapid increase in EV adoption and bringing significant savings for new EV owners. Additionally, thanks to Indiana’s lower-than-average electric rates, you can save thousands on fuel costs when making the switch to electric transportation!
In the below guide we will explore EV-related incentives available to residents across the state and help you find applicable rebates you may qualify for.
Indiana EV Tax Credit
Indiana does not have a state-wide EV tax credit, but residents may qualify for federal EV tax credits like the $7,500 clean vehicle tax credit for new vehicles or the $4,000 used clean vehicle tax credit. Income restrictions, battery components, and critical mineral restrictions may apply. Be sure to speak to a qualified CPA or tax professional to check your eligibility.
Additionally, the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit provides a federal tax credit up to $1,000 to offset costs related to installing an EV charger at home. Businesses can claim EV charger tax credits worth up to $100,000.
Indiana EV Rebates
Indiana does not currently offer a state-level EV rebate, but one utility offers rebates on EV purchases, making it more affordable for Indiana residents to switch to an electric vehicle.
Carroll White REMC EV Rebate
You can save on your new EV registration costs by claiming a $150 rebate offered by Carroll White REMC. Note that rebates could take up to four weeks to receive.
Indiana EV Charger Rebates
Charging your EV at home is both affordable and convenient. To achieve the best charging speed with your residential electrical infrastructure, it is essential to install a Level 2 EV charger with the help of a qualified EV charger installation professional.

Be sure to read our article discussing the Cost of Charging an EV at Home vs. Public Charging.
Is There Free EV Charging in Indiana?
You can find free EV charging stations all throughout Indiana, including at the Indianapolis International Airport.
Where Are Public EV Charging Stations Located in Indiana?
Indianapolis has the most charging options, but you’ll find several EV charging stations along major highways and as well as in urban areas.
Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center Map of EV Charging Station Locations in Indiana, which can be sorted and filtered based on public access, charger type (Level 1, Level 2, DC Fast), and connector type (NACS, J1772, CCS, CHAdeMO).
Home Electrification Incentives in Indiana
Combining EV ownership with other electrification projects, such as upgrading your home with solar panels & battery storage, or investing in a heat pump, will help you save even more while reducing your environmental impact.
You may qualify for home electrification incentives through your local electricity provider in addition to the U.S. federal government. Scroll down to read tax credit and incentive details for specific home electrification technologies.
Battery Storage
The 25D Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit provides a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of new battery storage systems size 3kWh and larger.
Electrical Panels
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit provides a federal tax credit for electrical panel upgrades needed to complete electrification projects like heat pumps and heat pump water heaters (up to 30% of project costs, capped at $600). The 25C tax credit can be used by renters, and homeowners making upgrades to their primary or secondary home.
Qualifying electrical panels must meet the standards of the National Electric Code (NEC) and have a capacity of 200 Amps or more. This means that your new/upgraded panel must be able to serve a load of at least 200 Amps, but you don’t need 200 Amps of incoming utility service. Smart panels may qualify if they allow you to serve a load of 200 Amps.
If you’re claiming 25D for a residential solar or battery storage project and the installation required you to upgrade your main panel, you may be able to apply 25D to electrical panel costs as well.
Heat Pumps & Heat Pump Water Heaters
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit also applies to heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. A 30% federal tax credit is available (capped at $2,000 dollars). Eligible technologies must meet certain energy efficiency requirements.
Solar Panels
The 25D Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit also provides a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of photovoltaic (PV) solar panel systems.
