Does West Virginia Have EV Charger Tax Credits?

West Virginia does not have a state-wide tax credit for EV chargers, but residents may qualify for the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit which is a federal tax credit worth up to $1,000 to offset costs related to installing an EV charger at home.

Additionally, businesses may qualify for the 30C tax credit, worth up to $100,000 per installed EV charging port and available until June 30, 2026.

These TOU plans incentivize vehicle charging during off-peak hours, making EV ownership more affordable.
