EV incentives in Delaware

Verified July 2026

Solid, verified-current rebates for new AND used EVs with no income test — undercut only by the new weight-based EV fee.

The $7,500 federal new-EV credit and $4,000 used-EV credit ended September 30, 2025 — and the federal home-charger credit (30C) followed on June 30, 2026. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're reading an old script. (Charger installed on or before June 30, 2026? That one's still claimable on that year's return — IRS Form 8911.)

• DNREC — residential Level 2 charging equipment rebate (historically ~50% of cost — check current terms) — ~50% (official)

The catch: Delaware charges EV owners an extra $110/yr at registration.

The fee is weight-tiered (effective Oct 2025): $110/yr for BEVs under 6,000 lbs, $85 for PHEVs — heavier vehicles pay more.
