Also from Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO) — not part of your charger estimate
Each of these is money Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO) publishes with a condition attached, and the condition is the part that decides whether the figure is available to you at all. None of it is charger money. Nothing here is added to the amounts above, or to each other.

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 Any quote or article that nets a federal credit against your cost today is out of date — which is most of them.
