Idaho has no EV purchase help and Idaho Power lists no charger rebate. The case is cheap power and a Time of Day plan with off-peak Sundays, against a $140 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.
Not cash, so we don't count these as programs, but a good overnight rate can be worth more than a one-time rebate.
Time of Day plan: off-peak energy about 7.5¢/kWh in summer and 9.2¢ the rest of the year, overnight on weekdays and all day Sundays and holidays. No residential charger rebate is listed.
The catch: Idaho charges EV owners an extra $140/yr at registration. Plug-in hybrids pay $75/yr. See every state's EV fee, ranked.
PHEVs pay $75.
