Indiana has no state EV help and a $242/yr EV fee for 2026 that rises with inflation. AES Indiana customers can collect up to $250 in year-one charging rewards.
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 Indiana, if any, is at the utility level.
Managed Charging Rewards ($150 enrollment + up to $50/yr) or Off-Peak Rewards ($150 enrollment + 5¢ per off-peak kWh, up to $100/yr), plus a $100 instant rebate on a charger bought through the AES Indiana Marketplace. Residential Rate RS customers.
The catch: Indiana charges EV owners an extra $242/yr at registration. Plug-in hybrids pay $81/yr. See every state's EV fee, ranked.
PHEVs and hybrids pay $81. The BEV fee is indexed to fuel-tax CPI, so expect it to creep up.
