Texas EV charger rebates, and why your bill names the wrong company
Charger rebates in Texas are sponsored by whoever owns the distribution system, by municipal utilities, or by cooperatives. In competitive areas the retail provider whose name is on your bill sponsors nothing, so switching provider changes neither your eligibility nor your amount.

There is no federal tax credit for an EV charger installed today — for a home or for a business. Public Law 119-21 moved the termination of the Section 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit to June 30, 2026, and both halves of it ended on that date: the 30% residential credit capped at $1,000 per port, and the business credit of 6% (30% with prevailing wage and apprenticeship) capped at $100,000 per item. The separate Section 30D and 25E clean-vehicle credits ended for deliveries after September 30, 2025.
This is the layer that sponsors charging programs in competitive Texas. We have not completed a verified review of which of them currently run residential programs, so no figures appear here.
Municipal systems in Texas have historically been the most active sponsors of residential charger rebates in the state. Program status and amounts are in research and no figure is published until each has a primary source and a check date.
Cooperative territory frequently interleaves with municipal and investor-owned territory at metro edges, which is the main source of ZIP-level ambiguity in Texas.
