Not in the federal directory
The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center does not carry a listing for Kaua'i Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC). That is a gap in the federal directory rather than a statement about this utility — what appears above was read directly from the utility’s own published material.
Where the federal credit went
There is no federal EV charger tax credit for equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026. Section 30C was terminated by section 70504 of Public Law 119-21. Any quote or article that nets a federal credit against your cost today is out of date — which is most of them.
