Seattle City Light and your EV charger
Seattle City Light does not offer an EV charger incentive. We confirmed that against the utility's own published rebate listing rather than inferring it from an absence, which is why it carries a verified stamp. The federal charger credit also ended for installs after June 30, 2026, so there is no federal money to fall back on — the cost of a Level 2 install is the cost.

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 Any quote or article that nets a federal credit against your cost today is out of date — which is most of them.
