See your EV charger rebate in 30 seconds.

Not for new installs — the federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (IRS Form 8911) ended for charging equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026. If your equipment was installed on or before that date, you can still claim 30% (up to $1,000) on the return for that tax year.

Today the biggest savings come from your utility: PG&E, for example, pays 50% of the Smart Splitter’s price back, and NeoCharge checkout offers stack on top where available. Utility rebates typically cannot be combined with each other — you pick one.

The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit covered 30% of the cost of qualified EV charging equipment installed at your primary residence, up to $1,000. It ended for equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026.

If your Smart Splitter or Level 2 charger was installed on or before June 30, 2026, you can still claim it by filing IRS Form 8911 with the return for the year it was installed. It is a non-refundable credit — it reduces your tax liability dollar-for-dollar but does not pay out beyond what you owe.

California has the densest rebate landscape in North America. As of September 2026 we track residential rebates from PG&E (50% of an approved device’s price back — up to $2,000 income-qualified; the Smart Splitter is on PG&E’s approved equipment list), SMUD (up to $200 for a circuit-sharing device, Sacramento), 3CE / Central Coast Community Energy (up to $2,000, or $2,400 with CARE/FERA — applications due September 30, 2026), LADWP (up to $1,500 income-qualified, Los Angeles), Pasadena Water & Power ($600 Wi-Fi / $200 standard), and Silicon Valley Power (up to $550, Santa Clara). Enter your ZIP at the top of this page to see which apply to your address.

It depends on the program. Many utilities require a Wi-Fi enabled, smart-grid-capable device because the rebate is partially funded as a grid-management investment — the utility wants to schedule charging into off-peak hours. The NeoCharge Smart Splitter qualifies under most of these programs because it includes Wi-Fi and integrates with the NeoCharge App for off-peak scheduling.

A handful of programs (e.g. Pasadena Water & Power) offer a higher rebate tier specifically for Wi-Fi connected chargers vs. a lower tier for standard L2 hardware.

A Level 2 charger rebate covers the EVSE itself (the charger). It typically requires you to install it on a dedicated 240V circuit — which often means an electrical panel upgrade ($2,000–$5,000) for older homes. A Smart Splitter rebate covers the NeoCharge Smart Splitter, which avoids the panel upgrade entirely by sharing your existing 240V dryer or EV outlet between two devices.

Utilities like PG&E, SMUD, Tacoma Power, Duke Energy, and 3CE explicitly approve the Smart Splitter as an eligible device because it qualifies as an EV power management / circuit sharing device.

Utility rebates: typically 4 to 8 weeks from application submission to delivery, either as a mailed check or a credit applied to your utility bill. Most utilities require proof of purchase + proof of installation before processing.

If you are claiming the now-ended federal credit for an install completed by June 30, 2026, it applies when you file the return for that year — it reduces the tax you owe rather than arriving as a separate payment.

Check whether your state has a separate state-level EV incentive program (search the DOE’s Alternative Fuels Data Center), and ask your utility’s customer service whether a pilot program is in development — programs are added every quarter. If your equipment was installed on or before June 30, 2026, the federal credit (IRS Form 8911) may also still apply to that tax year.
