A Comprehensive Guide To Utah EV Incentives & EV Charger Rebates

With low electricity rates and a fast-growing public electric vehicle (EV) charging network, EV ownership is becoming even more accessible and appealing to drivers in the state of Utah.

If you’re considering an EV purchase, taking advantage of all the rebates and incentives available to you can help you save even more on the upfront and long-term expenses of owning and driving an EV.

Does Utah have EV rebates?

Yes, in 2026 the Utah EV Replacement Assistance Program (EVRAP) helps income- eligible Utah residents replace older, higher-polluting vehicles with new or used EVs. Income‑qualified Utah residents can receive:

• Grants up to $10,000 (≤300% FPL)
• Grants up to $7,000 (301–400% FPL)
• Grants up to $4,000 (401–500% FPL)

These grants can be combined with other rebates and tax credits, as long as the total doesn’t exceed the cost of the vehicle. Visit the Utah Department of Environmental Quality’s EVRAP page to learn more.

Are there federal EV incentives available in Utah?

Federal EV purchase tax credits expired in 2025, but a federal tax credit for qualifying home EV charger installations remains available through June 2026 for eligible locations.

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.

Do Utah utilities offer EV charger rebates?

Yes, in 2026 Empire Electric Association offers rebates for installing Level 2 home EV chargers, up to $625 if you enroll in a time-of-use (TOU) rate.

Empire Electric Association EV Charger Rebate

You can get up to $125 in a rebate applied toward the purchase and installation of a Level 2 EV charger with this utility, not to exceed 50% of the total cost of the project. If you enroll in the utility’s time-of-use (TOU) rate, the total rebate amount will increase to $625.

Participants must have an electrican’s receipt to qualify for installation rebates.

Rocky Mountain Power EV Charger Rebate

As of April 2026, rebates for home & commercial EV chargers are currently unavailable from Rocky Mountain Power and the Utah program is under review.

Utah EV Charger Tax Credits

Utah 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.

Several Utah utilities offer time-of-use (TOU) electricity plans, allowing customers to save on EV charging by taking advantage of lower rates during off-peak hours. This is an excellent way to save on EV charging costs by adjusting your charging schedule accordingly.

Always check with your utility to confirm current utility rates, TOU programs, and other incentives for EV charging during off-peak hours.

Rocky Mountain Power

Some EV‑specific TOU pilot rates are closed to new enrollment, but Utah customers can still enroll in Rocky Mountain Power’s residential TOU plans. You can save money by shifting your energy use away from on-peak hours between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. on weekdays.

Energy Charge Pricing

June through September

• On-peak: 32.0834¢ per kilowatt-hour (kWh)
• Off-peak: 7.1296¢ per kWh

October through May

• Off-peak: 6.3094¢ per kWh

Dixie Power

If you get your electricity through Dixie Power, you can enroll in a TOU program with an on-peak period that only happens in the summer between 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Your on-peak rate will be $0.10 per kWh, and you’ll pay just $0.04 per kWh outside of these hours.

Empire Electric Association

The Empire Electric Association TOU rate divides the day between an on-peak period from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and an off-peak period outside of these hours. You’ll pay $0.18 per kWh during the on-peak period and $0.05 per kWh any time outside of these hours.

If you enroll in the TOU rate, you may be eligible to purchase and install a Level 2 EV charger and claim a rebate worth up to $625.

Utah is currently implementing the first phase of its EV charging infrastructure plan. This phase consists of developing EV charging locations along major axes, including I-15 and I-70.

How Many Public EV Charging Stations Are in Utah?

As of early 2026, Utah has nearly 1,000 public EV charging stations, including over 800 Level 2 and 175 DC fast stations. There are 41 Tesla Supercharger stations and 448 Tesla Supercharger ports in Utah.

How Much Do Public EV Charging Stations Cost in Utah?

When it comes to paying for public EV charging in Utah, it’s important to keep in mind that pricing will vary from one charging station to another, but charging at home is generally the most cost-effective and convenient method of EV charging.

While pricing can vary, it may not always be possible to charge at home and there are affordable options available for public EV charging. For instance, if you’re a Rocky Mountain Power customer, you can use the utility’s public charging network and pay $0.27 per kWh, in addition to receiving a $0.05 per kWh credit if you use the chargers during off-peak hours.

Are There Free EV Charging Stations in Utah?

Yes, you can find free EV charging located across the state. Salt Lake City has 17 locations where you’ll find free Level 2 EV charging, including Pioneer Park and the Fairmont Aquatic Center. Park City also includes the use of complimentary chargers for drivers paying the general parking fees.

Where Are Public EV Charging Stations in Utah?

Larger, more urban cities such as Salt Lake City and St. George tend to have the most public charging stations available, but smaller cities and highways are rapidly becoming electrified.

Tesla has built a Supercharger network of fast charging stations throughout the state, with locations approximately 150 miles apart along I-15 and US-191.

Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center Map of EV Charging Station Locations in Utah, 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).

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.

In Utah, you may qualify for home electrification incentives through your local electricity provider.
