A rebate is a direct cash payment back to the project owner, typically paid after installation is verified. CALeVIP, MCE, BAAQMD, and city programs are rebates — they affect your project budget directly with cash on a 30–180 day timeline.
A tax credit reduces your federal tax bill rather than providing cash. The federal §30C credit covers up to 30% of project cost (max $100,000 per charger) and is claimed on your tax return for the year the chargers are placed in service. For-profit developers are limited by their tax liability, but California nonprofits and government entities can use the IRA's Direct Pay election to receive the §30C credit as a cash-equivalent payment.
A grant is similar to a rebate but awarded competitively — your application is scored against others. CFI Community, REACH 3.0, and AHSC are grants. Award amounts vary and aren't guaranteed.
California has no charger-specific state tax credit — every state-tier program is built as cash so nonprofits and affordable-housing developers can use it without the Direct Pay workaround.
Yes — programs from different tiers generally stack. The rules:
• §30C tax credit + state/utility/local cash rebates: full stack — cash rebates do not reduce §30C basis.
• §30C + federal grant (CFI/REAP): stack with offset — the federal grant amount reduces §30C basis dollar-for-dollar.
• Two utility programs at the same utility for the same port: not stackable.
• Two federal grants on the same port: not stackable.
Total recovery depends on which competitive grants you win and how the stack assembles. The rebate finder's result card shows the highest per-port awards for your specific project; talk to each agency for project-specific sizing.
Every program is verified directly against the administering agency's website. The dataset is refreshed monthly with weekly automated polls for federal NOFO announcements and round-opening signals.
Each program shows when it was last verified. Programs flagged "verify before applying" had a status change recently and need direct agency confirmation.
Programs change mid-cycle when funding pools deplete. Always confirm program status with the agency the week of application.
§30C is one program in the federal tier. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA, signed July 2025), it terminates June 30, 2026. Property must be "placed in service" on or before that date to qualify for the 30% credit (up to $100,000 per item).
This was a sharp acceleration from the previous 2032-12-31 sunset. Projects already in flight should compress procurement and commissioning to hit the deadline. Projects breaking ground after July 2026 cannot claim §30C.
After 6/30/2026 the federal stack collapses to USDA REAP (rural-only), CFI Community grants (Round 3 expected Fall 2026), and §48E ITC for battery storage co-located with chargers (does not apply to chargers themselves).
No. We maintain this database as a free resource — we don't file applications on your behalf. That's between you and the granting agency.
EVgpo is a California cooperative purchasing group for commercial EV chargers. We help on the equipment side: 20–40% below MSRP through cooperative purchasing on ChargePoint, Blink, Siemens, ABB, Wallbox, and most other major brands. The rebates above stack with our pricing.
"Regional" programs are run by California's regional air-quality agencies — also called air districts or AQMDs / APCDs in the regulatory world. There are 35 of them statewide, each covering one or several counties.
The big ones for commercial EV charger funding: BAAQMD (Bay Area), SCAQMD (LA basin + parts of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino), SJVAPCD (Central Valley), SDAPCD (San Diego), SMAQMD (Sacramento metro). Smaller districts cover individual counties.
These agencies fund chargers from pollution-reduction money (vehicle registration fees under AB 2766, Carl Moyer money, settlement funds) — different funding source from utility ratepayer programs, which is why they stack cleanly with utility rebates.
DSIRE covers all 50 states across many incentive types — useful breadth, but California commercial EV charger detail is shallow and slow to update. Many CCA, air district, and city programs are missing or out of date.
NREL AFDC is a federal database of alternative fuel laws and incentives. Strong on federal and state-level statutes; thinner on utility, air district, and city programs and rarely shows status changes within a funding cycle.
This database is California-only, commercial-only, and verified against each agency directly. We track CALeVIP 2.0 wave-by-wave, every California air district, every IOU and most CCAs and munis, plus county and city programs. Each program has a verification date and a status that's updated when funding depletes.
