unless you are itemizing, it is highly unlikely you will be able to qualify for both credits.
There is a special stipulation for the EV charging station credit that says you cant have the credit if it brings you below your tentative minimum tax (This is associated with, but different than the alternative minimum tax). the instructions for form 8911 specifically say:
Line 17
Although you may not owe alternative minimum tax (AMT), you must still figure the tentative minimum tax (TMT) to figure your credit. Complete and attach the applicable AMT form or schedule and enter the TMT on line 17.
Line 19
If you can’t use part of the personal portion of the credit because of the tax liability limit, the unused credit is lost. The unused personal portion of the credit can’t be carried back or forward to other tax years.
Basically, there is a tentative minimum tax for AMT that is calculated in the background as your return is completed. Form 8911 compares that tentative minimum tax to the net regular tax after certain other credits have been taken into account. If the tentative minimum tax is greater than the net regular tax, then the Form 8911 credit is no longer allowed.
Take a look at your Form 8911, lines 16, 17, and 18. If line 17 is greater than line 16, then your personal credit for Form 8911 will be disallowed.
