EV Charging Incentives & Regulations
A State-by-State Guide for 2023

In January of this year, an impressive 7.1% of light-duty vehicles registered in the U.S. were fully electric vehicles (EVs).
And by the end of 2023, total U.S. EV sales are expected to reach 10% of light-duty vehicle sales. That’s 1.4 million new cars, trucks, and vans that need charging nearly each and every day. Wood Mackenzie believes North America will see a rapid surge of EV charger installations, forecasting 2 million ports in place by 2035. How will that level of infrastructure come about?
Nationwide, states are preparing for mass EV adoption by regulating and supporting the installation of EV charging networks. Many policies aim to develop infrastructure for workplaces, public networks, and multi-unit dwellings (MUDs).
Because financial incentives make installing EV charging an attractive investment, more and more organizations are gaining interest in operating their own large-scale EV charging networks, including the following:

• Corporate offices
• Vehicle fleets
• Multifamily or mixed-use developments
• Universities or university campuses
• Healthcare facilities

U.S. EV sales are expected to reach 10% of light-duty vehicle sales

However, assessing the potential value of an incentive program can be complex. Incentives vary from state to state, and eligibility is often granular. Some programs are city-specific. Or only apply to specific properties. Or have indistinct end dates. Thorough knowledge of the latest EV charging regulations and incentives is key to successfully deploying cost-effective, large-scale installations.

“The next couple of years are going to be good for EV charging incen-tives and growth, and after that, I think states will start determining that these early adopter programs are not as needed because the market will have evolved.”
Raghav Murali | Director of Policy and Government Affairs, PowerFlex

COMPLIANCE & ELIGIBILITY
The EV charging regulations and incentives in this document are provided for convenience only; this list should not be consid-ered exhaustive. Incentive terms and deadlines are subject to change and are outside of PowerFlex’s control. Please talk with a PowerFlex specialist for current information, or visit a specific program’s website for the most up-to-date details on availability and eligibility.

Reasons to Invest in EV Charging Now
EV charging policies across America are constantly evolving. Organizations waiting to install a charging network should consider the following risks of inaction:

• Limited incentives, both in time and quantity
• Rise in material costs due to deferring installation
• Expensive retrofitting to meet future regulations
• Properties without EV charging falling behind

If you’re familiar with the latest EV charging regulations and incentives and act now, it’s possible to lock in valuable financial benefits while they’re avail-able. Raghav Murali (Director of Policy and Government Affairs, PowerFlex) un-derstands this, stating, “There is an urgency in the sense that these incentive programs get oversubscribed really quickly, and revisiting their budgets takes a lot of time. So you want to strike, certainly, while the iron is hot.”

“PowerFlex’s incentive team identifies, applies for, and manages all the incentives. They do the paperwork, coordinate with our installation team, and just make sure we’re meeting all the program guidelines and requirements. And so that’s a big value add for our customers.”
Alex Kaufman Business Development Manager, PowerFlex
