If you're in construction this episode breaks down one of the most valuable, and most overlooked, tax incentives available right now: the IRS Section 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit.
This credit can give your business up to $30,000 per site for installing qualified EV charging or alternative-fuel infrastructure. But the clock is ticking:
⏳ It expires for property placed in service after June 30, 2026.
In this episode, we’ll cover what the credit is, who qualifies, how it works, and why now is the time to act.
________________________________________
• The industry is shifting: EV adoption, alternative fuels, and infrastructure demands.
• A major tax incentive is available — but only for a limited time.
________________________________________
• Section 30C offers 30% of installation costs, up to $30,000 per site.
• Applies to:
o EV chargers
o Natural gas fueling systems
o Propane
o Hydrogen
o Biodiesel
• Easy to claim — no lottery, no grant, no waiting.
• Deadline: June 30, 2026
• Only ~7.5 months left for most businesses to fully plan and install in time.

This credit is especially relevant for:
Contractors & Trades
• Adding chargers at yards, shops, or for service vehicles
• Meeting client demand for EV-ready builds
Fleet Operators
• Installing natural gas, propane, or electric fueling systems
• Piloting electric or alternative-fuel trucks
• Reducing long-term fuel costs
Developers
• Apartment complexes
• Industrial parks
• Retail centers
• Office buildings

• Adding infrastructure now = huge future value + federal subsidy
________________________________________
You get:
• 30% of total installation cost
• Up to $30,000 per site
• Covers:
o Equipment
o Electrical upgrades
o Trenching
o Labor
o Engineering
o Permitting
o Site prep
Plus, it can stack with:
• State incentives
• Utility company rebates
• IRA programs
• Bonus depreciation + MACRS
A $100,000 installation may effectively cost $30,000–$40,000 after all benefits.

For the IRS, “placed in service” means:
• Fully installed
• Functional
• Inspected
• Energized
• Ready for use
Not simply purchased.
Typical timelines:
• Planning/design: 60–90 days
• Equipment lead time: 30–90 days
• Installation: weeks to months
• Utility approval: unpredictable
Translation: If you start late, you may miss the credit entirely. Start now.

A $100,000 EV charging install might get:
• $30,000 federal credit
• $10,000–$50,000 in state incentives
• $5,000–$40,000 in utility rebates
• Significant depreciation write-offs
Net cost could drop to $20,000–$40,000.
Multiple sites = multiple $30k credits.
________________________________________
Step 1: Assess your charging or fueling needs
Step 2: Get a site evaluation
Step 3: Collect a full cost estimate
Step 4: Confirm eligibility with a tax professional
Step 5: Begin installation early and avoid last-minute delays
