Verified July 2026
Zero purchase help — the EV case here is Idaho's dirt-cheap ~10¢/kWh power and Idaho Power's off-peak rate, against a $140/yr 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.)
No state-level purchase incentive right now — the money in Idaho, if any, is at the utility level.
Time-of-use plan with cheaper weekday nights + all day Sundays/holidays; a ~$200 L2 charger rebate has been reported — confirm on their page.
The catch: Idaho charges EV owners an extra $140/yr at registration.
PHEVs pay $75.
