Did the federal EV charger tax credit expire?

Yes. The Section 30C tax credit -- which covered 30% of EV charger installation cost up to $1,000 -- expired for installations completed after June 30, 2026. It is no longer available for new installs.

What charger qualifies for the PSO rebate?

Your charger must be ENERGY STAR certified. Not every Level 2 charger qualifies -- verify the specific model at energystar.gov before you buy. Most major brands like ChargePoint, Enel X, and Emporia have qualifying models, but check the list rather than assuming by brand.

How do I apply for the PSO EV charger rebate?

Submit your rebate application online at psoklahoma.com within 45 days of purchase -- not installation, purchase. You'll need your receipt, the charger model number, and your PSO account number. Miss the 45-day window and you lose the rebate.

EV Charger Rebates After the Federal Tax Credit Expired: What's Still Available in Tulsa

Q: Does PSO offer a rebate for EV charger installation in Tulsa?

Yes. PSO (Public Service Company of Oklahoma) offers a $200 rebate for residential customers who purchase a qualifying ENERGY STAR certified Level 2 smart charger. Submit your application online at psoklahoma.com within 45 days of purchase.

The 30C credit is gone. The good news: PSO still has money on the table for Tulsa homeowners.

⚠️

Federal credit expired: The Section 30C EV charger tax credit ended June 30, 2026. Installations completed after that date don't qualify. If you installed before July 1, claim it on IRS Form 8911 when you file -- that credit is still yours.

The federal credit has passed, but Tulsa homeowners can still get $200 back through PSO. See what local rebates are still available.

What the 30C Credit Was

The Section 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit gave homeowners 30% of their EV charger installation cost back as a federal tax credit, up to $1,000. A $1,200 install could mean $360 back at tax time. Your address had to fall in a qualifying census tract, and you claimed it on IRS Form 8911 with your federal return. The electrician didn't file it for you.

Congress let it expire. So that's that.

What's Still Available in Tulsa: The PSO Rebate

This is the one that matters now. PSO (Public Service Company of Oklahoma) offers a $200 rebate for residential customers who install a qualifying Level 2 EV charger. It's not $1,000, but it's real money and it's available today.

Eligibility

You must be a PSO residential customer (most Tulsa metro homeowners are)
The charger must be ENERGY STAR certified -- non-negotiable for the PSO rebate
The charger must be a Level 2 (240V) smart charger

How to Apply

Submit your application online at psoklahoma.com within 45 days of purchase. That's 45 days from when you bought the charger -- not from installation, not from the inspection. You'll need:

Your purchase receipt
The charger model number (to verify ENERGY STAR certification)
Your PSO account number

Miss the 45-day window and you're out of luck. Set a reminder when you buy.

Which Chargers Qualify

Not every Level 2 charger is ENERGY STAR certified. Verify the specific model at energystar.gov before you purchase. Brands like ChargePoint, Enel X JuiceBox, and Emporia Energy all have qualifying models, but certification status can change and not every product in a line qualifies. Check the model, not just the brand.

💡

Timing tip: The PSO rebate clock starts at purchase, not installation. Buy the charger first, start the 45-day clock, then schedule your installation. Don't wait to buy.

The Bottom Line for Tulsa EV Owners

The federal credit was the bigger number, but PSO's $200 is still real. Combined with what you'll save on fuel -- home charging in Tulsa typically costs the equivalent of about $1.00 per gallon -- the economics of home EV charging are solid with or without a federal credit.

If you haven't installed yet: buy an ENERGY STAR certified charger and submit that rebate form before the 45-day window closes. That's the move right now.
