Deductions & credits
Yes, all credits are added up before figuring the EV charger credit on Form 8911. Calculating all credits includes the EV Car (up to $7,500) if you purchased one too. If your credits before claiming the Form 8911, Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit are more than your tax on line 16 of your 1040, then you will lose the credit or it'll show zero.
It takes into account additional credits first like the CTC or Child Tax Credit (schedule 8812), Home Energy Credits (Solar), EV Vehicle, Retirement Savings Credits, and more, all added together. And, if credits are more than your tax, you will unfortunately lose the credit from Form 8911 EV Charger, it won't carry forward, according to current guidance.
See Form 8911, on how it's calculated, if using a desktop version you can get this information from your Forms Mode in Form 8911. Again, if other credits including solar and others add up to more than your tentative tax, you will lose credit forever, according to current guidance.
