Pennsylvania's EV rebate is closed with no new round announced, and the road user charge is $250/yr for EVs in 2026. Utility perks are small: $50 bonuses.
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 Pennsylvania, if any, is at the utility level.
$50 "EV Bonus Cash" (gift card or direct deposit) for telling them you own or lease an EV, plus optional time-of-use rates or summer Smart Charging Rewards (up to $80/yr).
$50 Smart Driver Rebate per EV just for telling PECO you bought one, plus a whole-house time-of-use rate and Flex & Save rewards.
The catch: Pennsylvania charges EV owners an extra $250/yr at registration. Plug-in hybrids pay $63/yr. Coming: Adjusted by CPI each January starting 2027. See every state's EV fee, ranked.
Fee is $250 BEV / $63 PHEV for 2026, adjusted by CPI each Jan. 1 starting 2027 (a monthly payment plan exists). With the state rebate closed, PA buyers currently pay the fee with no state money back.
