Verified July 2026
Worst deal in the Midwest: zero state purchase incentives and the nation's highest EV fee — $267/yr after the January 2026 gas-tax-indexed spike. Utility charger rebates soften it slightly.
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 Michigan, if any, is at the utility level.
Home L2 charger instant rebate (Wi-Fi charger), or $10/mo bring-your-own-charger credit.
Home charger + install rebate — now income-qualified only (e.g., ≤$66k for a household of 4); apply within 6 months of install.
The catch: Michigan charges EV owners an extra $267/yr at registration.
The fee is gas-tax-indexed and jumped from $160 when Michigan raised its gas tax in 2026 (PHEVs: $113/yr). A reduction bill exists but has not passed.
