EV incentives in West Virginia

Last reviewed October 2026

West Virginia offers no state EV money and charges $200/yr ($100 hybrids). Appalachian Power's Go Electric program pays $300 toward a Level 2 home charger.

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.)
