Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Tax Credit

[edwardjankun]

I installed a Residential Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Station in 2023 and took the maximum allowable credit in that tax year.  In 2025 I  installed an additional unit for outdoor access.

Can I take the credit again in 2025?

Yes, you can claim the credit for installing an Alternat Fuel Vehicle Refueling Station at your main home in the United States.

According to the IRS: "The credit has no annual or lifetime dollar limit except for credit limits for fuel cell property. You can claim the annual credit every year that you install eligible property until the credit begins to phase out in 2033."

"For property you buy and place in service at your main home from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2033, the credit equals 30% of the cost of the property up to a maximum credit of $1,000 per item (each charging port, fuel dispenser, or storage property)."
