No North Dakota EV money and a $120/yr fee, but home charging is cheap: Otter Tail pays $500 for a Level 2 charger and Cass County's off-peak rate is 5.2 cents.
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 North Dakota, 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 rate that suits overnight EV charging: 5.2 cents/kWh off-peak (all hours except weekdays 6 to 9am and 4 to 8pm, which cost 22.2 cents) vs 8.9 cents standard. No charger rebate is listed on the co-op's current pages (a 2022 co-op article described up to $500 for a Level 2 charger on its off-peak program), so ask before counting on one.
The catch: North Dakota charges EV owners an extra $120/yr at registration. Plug-in hybrids pay $50/yr. See every state's EV fee, ranked.
PHEVs pay $50, electric motorcycles $20.
