EV incentives in Louisiana

Verified July 2026

No state money (the old alt-fuel credit was repealed and never replaced) — the only cash is ~$250 utility charger rebates and off-peak perks, against a $110/yr road-usage fee.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.)

What LA offers on the purchase

No state-level purchase incentive right now — the money in Louisiana, if any, is at the utility level.
