Illinois is currently one of the most advantageous states in the country for installing commercial electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
A combination of federal tax credits, state-level grants, and utility rebates can offset up to 80-100% of project costs in some scenarios. However, this funding landscape is dynamic, with fast-approaching deadlines and competitive application windows.
The Inflation Reduction Act reinstated the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit.
The Illinois EPA manages grant rounds funded by the VW Settlement and CEJA legislation.
ComEd offers direct rebates for infrastructure preparation and charger hardware.
Beyond just the chargers, Illinois offers incentives for the distributed generation equipment that often supports charging stations, such as solar canopies and battery storage.
