Utah EV Charger Rebates & Incentives (2026 Guide)
The short version: in late 2026 there is no utility rebate and no federal tax credit for a new home EV charger in Davis or Weber County. What's left is cheap off-peak power and a small annual bill credit, mostly for Rocky Mountain Power customers.
| Program | Status (Nov. 2026) | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Rocky Mountain Power residential Level 2 charger rebate | Ended Jan. 1, 2026 | Was 75% of cost up to $200 for RMP homes |
| Federal 30C charger tax credit | Ended for chargers placed in service after June 30, 2026 | Was 30% up to $1,000, in eligible census tracts only |
| RMP Schedule 1 time-of-use rate | Available | RMP residential customers |
| RMP Wattsmart Drive | Available | RMP customers with a supported car brand |
| RMP business & multifamily charger incentives | Available, subject to funds | Businesses and multifamily properties, not single-family homes |
| Federal new clean vehicle credit (30D) | Ended for vehicles acquired after Sept. 30, 2025 | Vehicle purchases, not chargers |
Rocky Mountain Power home-charger rebate: ended Jan. 1, 2026
For years, Rocky Mountain Power paid a rebate on residential Level 2 chargers. In late 2025, the Public Service Commission of Utah approved changes to the EV program, and the revised Schedule 120 tariff, effective Jan. 1, 2026, applies only to non-residential and multifamily customers. Residential schedules and the residential Level 2 offering were removed.[1][2][3] Utah Clean Energy's incentive hub likewise reports no current utility incentives for home EV charging.[4]
If you see a website still advertising a "$200 Rocky Mountain Power charger rebate," it's out of date.
Federal 30C tax credit: ended for installs after June 30, 2026
The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (Section 30C) gave individuals 30% of the cost of a home charger, up to $1,000, but only at a main home in an eligible low-income or non-urban census tract. It now applies only to property placed in service by June 30, 2026.[5][6] A charger installed and working by that date at an eligible address may still be claimed on Form 8911 with your 2026 return; anything installed after it doesn't qualify. Ask a tax professional about your situation.
Time-of-use: the incentive that still matters most
Rocky Mountain Power's Schedule 1 time-of-use option makes every hour off-peak except 6 to 10 p.m. on non-holiday weekdays. Base energy prices on the current tariff:[7]
| Season | On-peak (weekdays 6 to 10 p.m.) | Off-peak (all other hours) | Standard Schedule 1 (for comparison) |
|---|---|---|---|
| June to September | 33.6173¢/kWh | 7.4705¢/kWh | 9.8332¢ first 400 kWh; 12.5263¢ above |
| October to May | 29.7498¢/kWh | 6.6111¢/kWh | 8.7020¢ first 400 kWh; 11.0852¢ above |
Base energy charges only. Customer charges, surcharges, adjustments and taxes are extra; see RMP's Utah price summary for the full bill picture.[8] RMP's program page may show older figures, so the tariff sheet governs.[9]
Rough example: 1,000 miles a month at about 3.3 miles per kWh is roughly 300 kWh. At the October to May off-peak rate, that's about $20 in base energy, versus about $33 at the standard rate's upper tier. But the time-of-use rate applies to your whole house, so it pays off only if you can keep cooking, laundry and AC use out of the 6 to 10 p.m. window. Enrollment has a 12-month minimum, and RMP's tariff describes a first-year protection against paying much more than you would have on the standard rate. Check the current terms before you enroll.
Wattsmart Drive bill credit
Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart Drive program pays RMP customers up to $100 in bill credits the first year and up to $50 each year after. In return, RMP can briefly pause or adjust your car's charging during high-demand periods, with a limited number of opt-outs. You enroll through your car maker's connected app. Supported brands listed by RMP include Audi, Chrysler, Fiat, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Polestar, Tesla and Volkswagen.[10]
Bountiful and Kaysville: different utilities, different rules
Bountiful City Light & Power and Kaysville City Power are municipal utilities, so RMP's time-of-use rate and Wattsmart Drive generally don't apply to their customers.[11] We found no home EV charger rebate in either city's published 2026 rates and fees.[12][13] See the Bountiful and Kaysville pages for their rate structures.
Programs that are not for single-family homes
- RMP business and multifamily charger incentives. Schedule 120 still funds Level 2 and DC fast chargers at businesses and multifamily properties, subject to funds and program rules.[2][14] Useful if you own a fourplex or apartment building.
- Utah DEQ charger programs are aimed at workplaces, fleets and public sites, not single-family homes.[15]
Federal EV purchase credits
The federal new clean vehicle credit isn't available for vehicles acquired after Sept. 30, 2025.[16] Used and commercial clean vehicle credits followed the same timeline. That changes the total cost of going electric, but not the cost of the charger install.
How to keep install costs down without a rebate
- Get a load calculation before agreeing to a panel upgrade.
- Choose a charger amperage that matches your car, not the biggest one available.
- Put the charger as close to the panel as practical.
- Bundle a panel upgrade and charger into one permit and visit.
- Use power sharing instead of two full circuits for two EVs.
